    Attached is a list of all schema elements (16f.xsd), identifiers, and algorithms. Within each list, items are in alphabetical order. Each item is labelled "M" or " ", meaning "Mandatory to implement" or "normative, but not mandatory to implement", respectively. The list of identifiers includes Michiharu's additions. Questions: 1. Should the following elements in the policy schema be mandatory? ? xacml AbstractDefaults (abstract) ? xacml PolicyDefaults ? xacml PolicySetDefaults 2. Should we include xs: datatypes that we require to be supported, or do we assume all of them are mandatory? 3. Does flagging an attribute identifier as mandatory-to-implement mean that the corresponding attribute is mandatory-to-implement? (I assume yes) Please let me know if these are correct. Tim, if you would like to have these labelled by the section number in version 15 of the spec, let me know. Anne -- Anne H.
