[xacml-comment] INCOMPLETE: behavior when XPath encountered,but not supported
The behavior of a PDP that does not support the optional XPath
*Defaults, selectors, functions, etc. when presented with a
policy containing such elements is not specified.

In some cases, the XPath elements may appear in a <Target>
element, making it impossible to determine whether or not a
PolicySet, Policy, or Rule is applicable.

In other cases, the <Target> element may not require any XPath
functionality, and a PolicySet, Policy, or Rule may be
applicable, but evaluating the <Condition> in the Rule may
require XPath functionality.

Possible behavior: If, during evaluation of a Request, any
unsupported element is encountered, then the PDP MUST return a
result of Indeterminate.
