    Hal,
    
    As discussed on Mar 1 conference call, we are interested in the creation of
    a language-specific authorization API that could interact with a XACML 
    PDP. We can work
    out the exact forum where this work should take place, certainly the 
    XACML TC
    is a reasonable choice. We should probably have a broader discussion in 
    this space, including
    for example, the possibility of an open source implementation.
    
    Regarding the issue of optimization via the return of generalized 
    results from a PDP, while this could be
    left at the vendor level, it may be be helpful to provide a profile that 
    articulates some of the
    issues here.
