Change: For authoring convenience, Assertion Authors may allow the association of an assertion to multiple policy subjects. If an assertion is allowed to be associated with multiple policy subjects as is possible with WSDL, then the Assertion Authors have the burden to describe the semantics of multiple instances of the same assertion attached to different policy subjects at the same time in order to avoid conflicting behavior. Best Practice 23: Define Semantics of Attachment to Multiple Policy Subjects If an assertion is allowed to be associated with multiple policy subjects, the assertion author should describe the semantics of multiple instances of the same assertion attached to multiple policy subjects at the same time. to: For authoring convenience, Assertion Authors may allow the association of an assertion to multiple policy subjects within the same context of use (e.g in the same WSDL description). If an assertion is allowed to be associated with multiple policy subjects as is possible with WSDL, then the Assertion Authors have the burden to describe the precedence rules when multiple instances of the same assertion are attached to different policy subjects in order to avoid non-interoperable behavior. Best Practice 23: Define Precedence Rules for Attachment of an Assertion type to Multiple Policy Subjects If an assertion is allowed to be associated with multiple policy subjects, the assertion author should describe the precedence rules for multiple instances of the same assertion attached to multiple policy subjects in the same context.
