CD-1 issue #4: generalized higher order functions

  • 1.  CD-1 issue #4: generalized higher order functions

    Posted 09-11-2009 13:08
    The issue number refers to the XLS-sheet found in this email:
    http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200909/msg00013.html
    
    The commenter finds that the higher order functions (any-of, all-of, 
    etc) are not sufficient for his needs.
    
    I do not understand from the comment what the more general higher order 
    functions would look like. We would need a specific concrete proposal to 
    consider to make progress.
    
    Again, my personal preference is to move on what we have now. New 
    functions are fairly easy to add in separate profile document since they 
    do not affect the schema. So, I propose that we do not make any changes 
    to the core, but we open up a new item of work with additional 
    functions, and ask the commenter for proposals.
    
    Best regards,
    Erik
