CD-1 issue #36: policy without rule

  • 1.  CD-1 issue #36: policy without rule

    The issue number refers to the XLS-sheet found in this email:
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200909/msg00013.html
    
    The commenter thinks that the XACML schema should not allow a Policy 
    without any rule.
    
    I think it should allow since such a policy would simply be not 
    applicable (for any sane combining algorithm) and such a policy could be 
    useful as a placeholder or as output from an automatic policy compiler 
    of some sort (the compiler logic could perhaps be simpler if empty 
    policies are allowed).
    
    Best regards,
    Erik
