[xacml] Grants and Denys
Title:  Grants and Denys
On reflection, I am strongly opposed the the approach of having separate GRANT and DENY rules which somehow interact with each other.
I favor the approach, as in 0.9, where there is a single boolean that determines whether or not to grant access, for the following reasons:
1. I disagree that the former approach is more expressive. I believe they are equal.

2. I believe the latter is more intutive, although this may depend to some extent on what you are used to.
3. As witness our discussion Monday, the former approach adds a lot of additional issues.
In summary, since we are trying to produce one of two possible results, why start out with a scheme that produces one of four and then try to map it?
