    A comment:
    "policy" may be still confusing. How about "policy element"?

    [xacml] "policy" = Policy or PolicySet?





    Our glossary defines "Policy" and "PolicySet", but there is no
    generic term that includes both.  I notice places in Section 7
    that refer to just "policy" and other places that specifically
    say "Policy or PolicySet", so I don't think we are consistent.

    In the interests of brevity, Could we add the following to
    the glossary, and try to use it whenever both "Policy" and
    "PolicySet" are implied?

     policy - In this specification, the uncapitalized term "policy"
     refers to both XACML Policy and PolicySet instances.

    Tim, you may have a better proposal.  Or there may even be a
    hidden consistency that I have missed :-)
