XACML 1.0 Specification Set Approved as an OASIS Standard.
OASIS has announced the successful balloting and approval of the
Extensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) a new OASIS Open
Standard. Formal language definitions are provided in XML Schema

Happy Birthday XML.
We commemorate the progress of meta-markup in modern times on two
special days: October 15, 1986 marked the official publication of "ISO
8879: Standard Generalized Markup Language", while February 10, 1998
saw the official publication of SGML's (hitherto) most successful
profile, the W3C Recommendation "Extensible Markup Language (XML)
1.0". Dave Hollander and C. M. Sperberg-McQueen of W3C have written an
essay offering retrospects.
