    Subject: RE: [xacml] Removing A7 - A11


    Polar - The map, as I understood it, was that:
    
    Sections 5 and 6 would describe processing rules directly related to a
    particular element type;
    
    Section 7 would describe any processing rules that could not be associated
    with a particular element type; and
    
    Appendix A would describe standard data-types and functions.
    
    We haven't followed this map consistently.  For example, A11 describes the
    <Function> element and really provides no additional value over that
    provided by 5.28 Element <Function>.
    
    Where several elements require identical processing, it seems appropriate to
    reference a common section in Section 7.  Then Appendix A should be reserved
    for describing the data-types and functions identified with a URI.
    
    Are there objections to this approach?  All the best.  Tim.
