> Is the word "preferences" better? no.. the conflict attribute is neither _resolving conflicts_ nor does it _set priorities over the Permissions/Prohibitions in the same policy_. It is specifying a policy's conflict resolution strategy that must be adhered to when resolving conflicts of said policy. In ODRL, there are currently only 3 strategies to choose from namely **invalid**,**perm**, and **prohibit**; and it happens that two of them define some sort of preference/priority hierarchy, but that's not the norm. There exist various other [different conf. res. strategies](https://kar.kent.ac.uk/43215/1/ResolvingPolicyConflictsFinalFormatted.pdf) that are as viable as the ones predefined by ODRL, but don't define any preferences or alike. TL&DR: _The conflict attribute is used to specify a policy's conflict resolution strategy._ -- GitHub Notification of comment by simonstey Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/poe/issues/76#issuecomment-268162455 using your GitHub account
