RE: Access Control: integrated Requirements, Use Cases and FAQ

Hi Art, Anne, et al

I'm glad that Anne is including the reqs/uc/faq in the spec, but I'm
seriously confused about what to review.  Art, you asked for the use
cases you presented to be added into the doc, which I did.  Those aren't
in Anne's document.  We discussed a few things on the telcon, such as
the non-requirement of JSON, that I updated (though haven't published
given Anne and your comments) but aren't in the Ed draft.  It looks to
me like the content of this doc is fairly different than what people had
been asking for previously.  Any time there is such a divergence,
confusion often arises, which would slow down progress on reqs and use
cases.  

Having said that and retaining that concern, I think it's good that the
WG now has an editors version of the reqs and use cases for review.
That's what I have wanted all along.  If the WG would ever like any
editorial help in the future, I'd be glad to contribute.  It's a nice
situation when editorial help isn't needed :-)

Cheers,
Dave
