Re: XACML profile for SPKI?

James,

There are no plans to do a profile for SPKI.  XACML doesn't deal
with authentication: that is handled by layers such as SAML on
which XACML is built.  So maybe SAML is where such a profile
would be appropriate, but I have heard no customer demand for
SPKI-based systems.
