Tony: I think you are making a semantic distinction between an absent nested policy and an empty nested policy. Could you elaborate a bit on what that distinction may be? All the best, Ashok From: public-ws-policy-request@w3.org [mailto:public-ws-policy-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Anthony Nadalin Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 7:13 PM To: Frederick Hirsch Cc: Hirsch Frederick; public-ws-policy@w3.org; public-ws-policy-request@w3.org Subject: Re: Proposed resolutions to issues 3549 and 3548 Since nesting is optional and depends on the assertion why would a policy author have to include a empty wsp:Policy element ? I also don't consider an empty wsp:Policy element the same as not having a wsp:Policy element.

Policy expression nesting is used by domain authors to further qualify one or more specific aspects of the original assertion. For example, security policy domain authors may define an assertion describing a set of security algorithms to qualify the specific behavior of a security binding assertion." Add additional sentences: Any assertion that may contain a policy expression as a child must always have a child wsp:Policy element that either contains that policy expression, or is empty if the child policy expression is optional and not needed." Related issues: Issue 3548 is related to 3549, close with no action once 3549 is resolved. <http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3548> regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch Nokia
