  Doc Updates
      Hierarchical, Multiple, Privacy and DSIG Profiles

        desc:

    Eric has updated the 5 profiles above (SAML profile was left in 
completed state
      by Anne before she left in Aug). Most of the changes above are to 
upgrade
      to XACML 3.0, mostly renaming elements. One area where Eric found some
 ->   issues that people should review is in the hierarchical profile, 
details of
      which may be found in the desc link above.

3 Issues

 -> New issue:  Eric also noted the 2.0 version of the hierarchical 
profile is broken.
      Data type doesn't work as intended - need 2.0 errata

 -> New issue: from Stephen Hrbacek: Namespace identifiers do not match 
between
       XACML 2.0 specs and xsds. Needs to be added to issue list
          
http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml-comment/200711/msg00000.html

 -> Issue 87: was discussed at the last meeting. Eric has done some
      additional work on it since then:
        http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml/200711/msg00012.html
      This may be broken in hierarchical profile also, and needs more 
analysis.
