Chris: In your latest note in this thread you proposed Proposed text added to section 4.5: If an initiating entity includes a policy assertion type A in its policy, and this policy assertion type A does not occur in an intersected policy, then the initiating entity does not apply the behavior implied by assertion type A. I have two concerns about this proposal: 1. It does not say anything about the policy of the responder. Is the behavior different in the other direction? I think not. 2. The policy intersection algorithm is direction independent. This proposal introduces direction dependency and I'm wary of that. If we go that way then I would like to bring up the complex of ideas that say that the initiator expresses constraints - what you must do, and the responder expresses capabilities - what I can do and intersection works differently if viewed from the two directions. If we go that route then this leads naturally into the wildcard matching that DaveO and I have been proposing. All the best, AshokReceived on Thursday, 17 May 2007 23:08:15 GMT
