I agree with Danny, and I have no objections to the change.

    Also, along the lines of simplification, I'd be in favor of making the RequestDefaults simpler. Today
    the JSON encoding mirrors the XACML encoding which contains 1 element nesting too many.____

    __ __

    In the JSON spec we currently have____

    "Request": {____

    "RequestDefaults":{____

                 ”XPathVersion” : ”http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116”____

    }}____

    We could change to the following instead:____

    "Request": {____

    "RequestDefaults": ”http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116”____

    }____

    Or____

    "Request": {____

    ”XPathVersion” : ”http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116”____

    }____

        See my comments below:

        This is now fixed. Thanks.

             The IdReference object needs a

        Yes, I noticed that when implementing the profile :-). I fixed it now.

             An

        I don't see in the XACML 3.0 core spec where the EarliestVersion and LatestVersion must be absent.
        On lines
        1961 to 1964 I read that____

        /EarliestVersion [Optional] /
        /Specifies a matching expression for the earliest acceptable version of the policy set referenced. /
        /LatestVersion [Optional] /
        /Specifies a matching expression for the latest acceptable version of the policy set referenced./____


        It also says it is part of the PolicySetIdReference and PolicyIdReference.____

        /____


        /
        Later in the spec, I do see that in the response, the following rule applies:____

        /The identifier and version of a policy which was applicable to the request. See section 5.11. The____


        <PolicyIdReference> element MUST use the Version attribute to specify the version and MUST NOT use
        the____

        LatestVersion or EarliestVersion attributes./

        Does it mean that the attributes /LatestVersion /and /EarliestVersion /must not be included
        altogether?____


    That is how I've interpreted it. They aren't needed at all in the JSON encoding
    of a response, so we could leave them out, but if we later create a JSON encoding
    for policies, then we would need to put them back in, or have two JSON objects
    with the same name but different members, or use a different name for references
    in a Policy. Take your pick which strategy is going to be the least confusing.

    Regards,
    Steven

    would make sense.

                      stephen: still looking into alternatives to admin approach; practical
                           necessity to dup admin policies nearly everywhere there is issue
                           wrt unsafe policies being integrated w admin policies; reduction
                           graphs lead to some perf issues
                      erik: fwd chaining doesn't have same problem; top down recursive
                           could limit intermediate delegates;
                           also issue w np-complete;
                      stephen: hasn't found way to deal w malicious policy;
                      hal: in old days disc about detecting invalid policies;
                      hal: recollection of use cases; large ratio between general pop
                            vs admin people; maybe that helps;
                      rich: what is issue of ctl
                      stephen: sibling admin policy; writer of admin has to anticipate
                           places where delegates will be extending, and making
                           sure delegates have right authority; only sibling within
                           same policy set.
                      hal: as opposed to putting admins high in the tree;
                      stephen: but hi in tree can't authorize things lower in the tree;
                      stephen: one interesting use case is discretionary access ctl, such
                           as every owner of resource is authorized, so they can write
                           policies for their own resources;
                      hal: "can do, can del" was intended to address that; if you are allowed
                           to do it, you can delegate it as a policy; originally was in
                           admin profile but we moved it to core.
                           "can do, can del" is popular access model, implicitly mentioned
                           in sections 2.7, 2.9 of core spec.

                    Other business:

                     hal: next call in 2 weeks 21-Feb-2013

                     meeting/call adjourned: 3:51PM 7-Feb-2013
