Issue 4414 (was RE: bug 3978 --- updated proposal from maryann and dave o.

[Corrected the subject line - this is issue 4414]

Two comments on the revised proposal:

>If Company-X adds the EndOfLife policy assertion

When the WG adopted Dave O's proposal [1], WG amended the proposal by adding the adjective 'hypothetical' to all occurrences of the 'EndOfLife assertion'.

>If Company-X wishes any clients to always be
>able to intersect with one alternative in a
>policy expression , particularly those using
>strict intersection, the first policy alternative
>offered should not contain the EndOfLife
>policy assertion even with an ignorable attribute.

This sentence comes across as if a client would always intersect with one alternative in a policy as long as the first policy alternative does not contain the hypothetical EOL policy assertion. Suggested editorial change is:

s/alternative in a policy expression/alternative in Company-X policy expression/

It seems to make sense to chose option a) so that this works for
clients that are not aware of the EndOfLife assertion. The text in
the proposal following the choice reads as if a) were chosen which is
consistent with that choice.

Thus propose

be replaced with

"policy alternative offered should not contain the EndOfLife policy
assertion even with an ignorable attribute. This is because an
alternative with the EndOfLife assertion with an ignorable attribute
will only intersect with a client operating in strict intersection
mode, IF the client also has an EndOfLife policy assertion."
