Anne,
A long, long time ago [1], the POWDER WG had an exchange with Art
concerning WAF Access Control. The end result was that we incorporated
direct support for the same syntax in POWDER grouping [2], i.e.
access-item ::= (scheme "://")? domain-pattern (":" port)? | "*"
domain-pattern ::= domain | "*." domain
But, an eagle-eyed member of the group has spotted that the current
draft (to which we refer) does not support this any more [3].
Do we take it that this syntax is no longer supported by your WG?
Thanks
Phil.

I'm working through my PP to fix all the pending issues. I'll be
posting online a new version in the next few days.
However, I have a urgent question, concerning the constraints
include/excludeiripattern [1], i.e., those reflecting the syntax for
WAF access items. The problem is that, if you take a look at the
current WAF document we refer to in the grouping doc, i.e., [2],
besides the fact that WAF changed the former title into "Access
Control for Cross-Site Requests", the notion itself of "access item"
(and the corresponding section) has disappeared. In other words, in
[2] there's no definition of the syntax of an access item.
I've not checked thoroughly through the change logs to find out why
this has been dropped. However, [2] talks about a notion of "origin",
which seems to encompass all the stuff concerning access items, and,
for this notion, it refers to HTML 5 [3].
Does anybody have any more precise information about this? And what
about include/excludeiripattern? Are they still to be supported as
they are defined in [1] ?
