RE: [xacml] update multiple profile wording

It is difficult to fully specify this sort of thing in 
natural language.  It would be possible to write an XSLT transformation to 
serve as a normative reference model of the required behavior.  The 
transform would take any valid XACML Request as input, and emit 1 or more 
Requests, each of which requested a single authorization 
decision.

  update multiple profile wording

  

  
Given the expanded scope of the v3 "multiple resource" profile, I 
  suggest we direct the editor to replace all references to "multiple resources" 
  with more appropriate pharases, such as "multiple authorization decisions" or 
  something.  This would include changing the title to something like 
  "Multiple Authorization Decision Profile".

  
Recent messages on xacml-users [1],[2] have indicated some confusion 
  about the intent of this profile, which could be cleared up with this 
  rewrite.

  
Regards,
