Ahoy hoy! After much deliberation and popular demand, there is now a PR: https://github.com/solid/web-access-control-spec/pull/134 proposing capability detection for extensible authorisation conditions in WAC. Servers can signal supported condition types, and clients can use them accordingly. As anticipated in https://solidproject.org/TR/wac#authorization-extensions , this version adds initial condition types to the core spec, issuer and client identification. The design allows future types, e.g. time based conditions or ODRL policies. Changes are backwards compatible. Servers without condition support are unaffected. Adoption can be incremental. That said, we want to do this properly. This is also a call for implementers or a call for commitment to implement so that we can align the specification with real and open implementation experience before it advances further. Please chime in! For those interested in technical writing, review of the PR would be much appreciated. As usual, myself and others are available to support the community in understanding the proposed changes. Feel free to reach out in the chats, meetings, or catch me at in-person events where I am happy to convene an impromptu WAC-support Group. -Sarven https://csarven.ca/#i
