Re: [xacml] Proposal for List Policies

[Erik Rissanen <erik@axiomatics.com>]

All,

I have put this in the working draft I am preparing.

I made the following changes from the proposal:

- I made the ReturnPolicyIdList XML attribute of the <Request> element 
required, not optional with a default value, since we have previously 
removed all default XML attribute values from the schema.

- The XML schema fragments contained some errors, which I fixed. I also 
changed PolicyPart to PolicyIdPart, which I think is more descriptive.

Regards,
Erik
