Re: [xacml] OASIS copyright statement in schemas

[Bill Parducci <bill.parducci@simulalabs.com>]

it seems like this is the kind of thing that would be well met by a 
simple copyright notice that is served up by oasis-open.org using a 
version sensitive URL:

  <!-- Copyright OASIS Open 2006. All Rights Reserved.
       http://www.oasis-open.org/legalGoo/copyright-20061012.xml -->

then again, this also sounds like the kind of bright, shiny object 
problem that i get sidetracked trying to solve that doesn't need fixing :)

stated more succinctly: if oasis is OK with the short version, then it's 
fine by me.
