    Subject: Attribute categories


    
    
    I tried to make a reasonable draft for introducing abstract attribute
    categories to the XACML context.  It seems there is a choice in between
    less invasive and considerably ugly (IMHO) way, or a nicer way to define
    this that is considerably invasive.  By considerably invasive I mean it
    will require translation of existing policies and request, and extensive
    editing of the specification and of some related profiles.
    The difference is whether to define existing subject categories in the
    terms of the abstract ones.
    I am attaching a short description of the invasive proposal to
    illustrate what I mean here.  I would guess we would need to discuss if
    we are willing to go that route - and I do see some benefits in doing
    that - or if we are not willing to make that many changes to the core
    spec.
    If we are brave I will edit the core spec and the profile documents as
    described in the proposal.  That may take some time as there are a lot
    of (fairly straightforward though) little changes.
