    Subject: [xacml] Transform specification in PolicyStatement


    In my last XACML context proposal, I specified <Transform> element in the
    <PolicyStatement> to explicitly write the transformation rule in the
    policy. But I am wondering whether <Transform> specification should be
    specified within PolicyStatement or not. It might be nice to include such
    information in the policy, but second idea would be to define specification
    like <Transform> outside the XACML specification e.g. as PDP definition
    because XACML policy only refers to information defined in XACML Context,
    not original credential like SAML. Transformation also depends on PDP's
    functionality about what kind of credential PDP can understand. This
    implies that <Transform> is much closer to the PDP's functionality. The
    third idea is somewhat in-between, so it just specifies transform URI (not
    exact transformation specification or URL) in the <PolicyStatement>. Any
    thoughts?
