Re: Are nested assertions part of the policy vocabulary?

hondo: Ashok,
My response is yes.

 >>mm1: Ashok, agree with MaryAnn on question one answer - this point 
has been made that the nested assertions are part of the policy 
vocabulary.  Yet, an important point associated with this surrounds 
whether or not the guiding conformance [1] requires support for those 
response types - that provides substance on your second question and its 
disposition.. [2]

We also state in Section 3.2 Framework before the statement you cite:

    An alternative with zero assertions indicates no behaviors. An
    alternative with one or more assertions indicates behaviors implied
    by those, and only those assertions.

Remember: (no position just stating the action-result), we augmented 
this text in http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=3602 Issue 3602.

Are nested assertions included in the policy's vocabulary?
