I am not talking about XML, but about making the resource structure part
of the policy, instead of being part of dynamic context.

Ordered graph? But that is not the important part.

The issue is whether you need to know the structure while writing policy
and who owns that structure.
I think that if we can define specification that addresses your use case
while being more flexible, that would be a good thing, wouldn't it? :)
