Thanks again for the comments.  Here is how I handled them.

Done.  I changed the description of the semantics, however.

Done.

Done.

I removed all ">".

Done.  I also capitalized and put in quotes all the normative
words in this list.

 > capitalized".

Done.

Done.

Done.  I could not think of a better wording.

Done.

 > Lines 270 & 277 - Would it make sense to specify a default value?

Done.  I made both XML attributes optional with default values of
"false".

 > Line 290 - Change "element" to "XML attribute".

Done.

Done.

 > Line 332 - Change "[XACML-SAMLP]" to "[XACML]".

Done.

Done.  I also used SHALL and MAY in the corresponding sections
talking about Queries and Statements in Requests and Responses.

 > Line 406 - Delete "in the".

Done.

 > Line 420 - Change <samlp:Request> to <samlp:Response>.

Done.

 > Lines 437, 440, 447 & 454 - Change "VALUE" to "value".

I changed it to "Value XML attribute".  The StatusCode value is
expressed in an XML attribute with name "Value".

Let me know if you (or anyone else) disagrees with these
dispositions.
