Actually Steven, doesn't the schema allow this? That's the way I understand it. I just submitted the JSON profile before seeing your response. I would rather keep it as is.
<StatusCode ...>
<StatusCode ...>
<StatusCode ...>
<StatusCode .../>
</StatusCode>
</StatusCode>
<StatusCode ...>
<StatusCode ...>
<StatusCode .../>
</StatusCode>
</StatusCode>
</StatusCode>

Hi Glenn,
I think you are wrong. I took the wording verbatim from the core XACML spec which says that StatusCode does contain a sequence of StatusCode.
The core spec is badly worded also, but at least the core spec has an XML Schema
to clarify the intent.
Contains "an optional sequence of minor status codes" immediately suggests to me
something like:
<StatusCode ...>
<StatusCode .../>
<StatusCode .../>
<StatusCode .../>
</StatusCode>
but the XML Schema tells me it is actually:
<StatusCode ...>
<StatusCode ...>
<StatusCode ...>
<StatusCode .../>
</StatusCode>
</StatusCode>
</StatusCode>
which I wouldn't naturally regard as a sequence. I think Glenn makes a fair point.
The text description has to stand on its own in the JSON profile and I agree with
his suggested rewording.
Regards,
Steven
Am I missing the point?
Cheers,
David.
5.55 Element <StatusCode>
The <StatusCode> element contains a major status code value and an optional sequence of minor status codes.
<xs:element name="StatusCode" type="xacml:StatusCodeType"/>
<xs:complexType name="StatusCodeType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="xacml:StatusCode" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="Value" type="xs:anyURI" use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
The <StatusCode> element is of StatusCodeType complex type.
The <StatusCode> element contains the following attributes and elements:
Value [Required]
See Section B.8 for a list of values.
<StatusCode> [Any Number]
Minor status code. This status code qualifies its parent status code.

The statement that ____
“.. the StatusCode object may contain a sequence of StatusCode objects..”____
is confusing because a StatusCode may contain only one child StatusCode. This may be a correct statement in an XML definition, but in general use the term “sequence” means a series, list, or array of multiple objects, so can be read as saying that the StatusCode can contain an array of StatusCodes.____
It would be better to change this text to read____
“.. the StatusCode object may contain a StatusCode object..”____
