Subject: [xacml] Which date duration functions mandatory?
We decided not to make date duration functions mandatory for XACML 1.0,
because they can be a bear to get right.
For conformance tests, I am trying to pin down exactly which functions
are "date duration" functions. The following is my understanding:
Any function that requires converting a value into a new date value is
NOT mandatory. I.e. "7/24/02 plus 10 days = 8/3/02" is NOT mandatory.
Any function that requires subtracting two date values to obtain a
duration is NOT mandatory. I.e. "8/3/02 - 7/24/02 = 10 days" is NOT
mandatory.
Any function that adds, subtracts, etc. durations of days, months, or
years to yield a new duration IS mandatory. I.e. "8 days plus 10 days
= 18 days" IS mandatory.
