AW: AW: [xacml] Updated public review issues list

["Jan Herrmann" <herrmanj@in.tum.de>]

Hi Erik,

Maybe the remark below might make it easier to understand the section of the
profile. It could be added in line 124 of the multiple resource profile v3.0
cd1.

"Remark: The string "XPath-expression" is a possible value of the scope
Attribute whereas urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:2.0:data-type:xpath-expression is
the data type of the resource-id values."

I am also happy if we don't add an additional comment. I just added this
comment to my list as I met a couple of people who misunderstood the usage
of the word XPath-expression with its two different meanings.

Best regards jan
