RE: proposed update to policy requirements

Hi,

I read the document and have a few basic comments/questions. Please excuse me if I am addressing something that already has been discussed. I might have missed some mails due to my summer vacation.

Seems as section 2 covers the cases when the specific API itself implements API access control through some user interface as described by the "Security and Privacy Considerations" sections in the DAP API specifications and that section 3 and 4 describes the use cases when there is a prearranged trust relationships with users. Assuming this is correct: 

* Are untrusted (unsigned) widgets a part of the "Un-managed Web Browser" use case or another separate use case?

* Does the "Trusted Widget" use case without a delegated authority assume a user configured access control policy or does it assume user approving API access at widget installation time? 

Section 3.3: 
* The examples refer to web sites, not trusted widgets. 

Editorial:

Section 4.1:
* First sentence says "The enterprise Managed Device API use case ...". Should be "The Delegated Authority Device API use case ...".

Section 5.3 and 5.4: 
* Contains the same text.

Regards 
  Claes

Subject: proposed update to policy requirements

I put together a proposed update to the policy requirements editors draft.

I restructured it to reflect our latest thinking that there are essentially three cases: web, trusted widget and managed policy with requirements that build on the more general cases.

It turns out most of what we had before is still relevant, but I consolidated and reorganized it.

See http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/docs/policy-requirements-proposal.html

If the WG agrees I propose to update the current editors draft with these changes.
