Have WS-MetadataExchange and WS-Resource Transfer been submitted to any
standards group? I can find no record of such a submission. Until they
are, I don't see how the XACML TC can consider them as the basis for an
XACML TC profile. In addition, they would need to actually achieve
standard status in order for the profile to be approved by OASIS ot
ITU-T as a standard - it is a long road from "not yet submitted" to
"approved standard".
SPML, on the other hand, is a mature approved OASIS Standard - Version 2
was approved in April 2006. Even if SPML is not ideal, our profile
could use the parts of it that work for us, and extend or profile it for
additional or different functionality.
I know almost nothing about SPML and have no idea where Sun stands
regarding it, so my opinion is not based on any technical or corporate bias.
Regards,
Anne
