    Subject: Re: [xacml] WI#9 Proposal: policies referring to hierarchicalresources. Forwarded message from bill.


    Bill made a good suggestion - use RFC2396 (Uniform Resource
    Identifiers (URI): Generic Syntax, August 1998) to specify the
    syntax for the hierarchical resource names.  This is basically
    the same as what I was using, except that it spells out more
    completely how to handle escaped characters.  It also allows
    implementations to build on code that probably already exists; we
    like to reference existing standards!  I will update my proposal
    to use this.

    this may sound goofy, but aren't you basically applying XML to URI hierarchy 
    syntax (rfc2396), at least WRT to node naming and separation syntax? if so, 
    perhaps it would be useful to reference that work since it gives you escape 
    characters for other aberrant behavior--which may make sense at some later 
    date--and has been proven to work well within XML in general?
    
    other than that, i like the schema. :o)
