Subject: [xacml] Policy Administration (for Security Considerations)


New section for Security Considerations after "Policy identifiers":

9.2.2 Policy administration

If the contents of policies are exposed outside of the access
control system, potential subjects may use this information to
determine how to gain unauthorized access.

To prevent this thread, the repository used for the storage of
policies may itself require access control.  In addition, the
Status element should be used to return values of missing
attributes only when exposure of the identities of those
attributes will not compromise security.
