We are still arguing about DataType in the policy. Hal: We cannot
approve a committee specification this week.


Hal: Begin Public Review Need to get an editor to field the public
     review comments. Let's end up with something we can approve
     next Thursday.

Hal: Dropped off.

Anne: Type conversion? Michiharu: No strong opinion

We came to an agreement.

The "DataType" attribute will be required in both the
RequestContext and Policy.

AttributeDesignators will look for attributes as if the attribute
id was appended with the datatype identifier. If an attribute of a
particular data type isn't in the context, then the designator
returns an empty bag.

There are no implicit type conversions between any types, even
strings.

Action Item to Polar: Review Section 5.29

Adjourn.
