Title: Example 3.1 does not follow the algorithm in merging policies

Description: The example 3.1 claims to be result of merging. The merge is
defined to be 

{
Definition: a merge consists of serializing each policy as a policy expression,
replacing their wsp:Policy element with a wsp:All element, and placing each as
children of a wrapper wsp:Policy element.] The resulting policy expression is
considered to represent the combined policy of all of the attachments to that
policy subject.
}

The resulting example does not contain any replacement of wsp:All elements with
a wsp:Policy element and does not follow the definition. 

Justification: The example is confusing and does not follow the description of
the merge. 

Proposal: Fix the example to reflect the merge algorithms intent by introducing
wsp:All as appropriate wrappers.
