    OK. I agree to that <NameIdentifier> should be a special element for
    <Principal>.
    So it would be nice that XACML Context reflects that notion.

    I think the NameIdentifier needs to be a special attribute
    because each Principal must have exactly one.  Other attributes
    are all optional, and multiple instances do not cause problems.
    
    The NameIdentifier could become an xml attribute of the Principal
    element, but we would then have to deal with Format, ds:KeyInfo,
    etc.
