    Subject: [xacml] change request: subject-attribute-designator and subjectcategory


    xacml request context supports multiple <xacml-context:Subject> elements.
    Each <xacml-context:Subject> element is tagged with the subject-category, such as:
    access-subject, codesource, etc. Subject category name is unique, ie there is no
    two <xacml-context:Subject> elements in the request context with the same value of subject-category
    attribute.
     
    <xacml:Subject> element in the policy allows us to specify multiple subject matches at the same time:
    sm1 'and' sm2 'and' sm3 etc. Syntactically, context subject attribute is selected with
    <xacml:SubjectAttributeDesignator> element that names attribute-id and issuer.
     
    Very often all subject attributes must be selected from the same subject block.
     
    Proposal: Extend <xacml:SubjectAttributeDesignator> with optional SubjectCategory attribute:
    <xs:complexType name="SubjectAttributeDesignatorType">
        <xs:attribute name="AttributeId" type="xs:anyURI" use="required"/>
        <xs:attribute name="Issuer" type="xs:anyURI" use="optional"/>
        <xs:attribute name="SubjectCategory" type="xs:string" use="optional"/> <-- new attribute
    </xs:complexType>
