    Subject: Abstract XACML TC SAML AuthzDecisionQuery/Resp requirements


    How do these sound as abstract requirements to present to SAML
    for SAML 2.0?
    
    1. Way to pass an XACML Request Context in the Query and an XACML
       Response Context in the Decision.
    2. Way to indicate in the Query that an XACML Request Context is
       to be returned as part of the Decision.
    3. Way to indicate in the Query whether the PDP is free to
       collect Attributes for use in making the Decision from sources
       other than the XACML Request Context passed in the Query.
    4. Associate a DataType with an Issuer name, such that the name
       can be determined to be a string, an X.500 Distinguished Name,
       etc.
    
    Newer requirements:
    5. Way to return an XACML Policy/PolicySet in a Decision as a
       condition that must evaluate to "Permit" in order for the
       Decision to be valid.  Way to indicate that such a condition
       is associated with the Decision.  Might be appropriate to put
       this condition and indication into the XACML Response Context
       itself.
    6. Way to pass an XACML Policy/PolicySet in a Query along with
       an indication as to whether this Policy/PolicySet is to be
       used alone or in conjunction with other Policies/PolicySets
       available to the PDP in evaluating the Query.
    7. Better correspondence between SAML Attribute format and XACML
       Request Context Attribute format such that SAML Attributes can
       be translated into XACML Request Context Attributes
       mechanically and easily.
    8. SAML Policy Assertion syntax, allowing an issuer to state and
       sign an XACML Policy/PolicySet.
