Issues Unicode Character Normalization There is general agreement to adopt Erik's proposal to leverage the W3 specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-charmod-norm-20051027/ Unicode Codepoint Collation There is general agreement to use Unicode Codepoint Collation for character/string comparison using mechanisms defined by XPath: http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions/collation/codepoint Combining Algorithm Text Erik posted the updated verbiage for the combining algorithms to the list. The question was raised if new combiner identifiers should be added for clarity of changes in behavior. Hal and Erik suggested that the v2 be left as is and v3 combining logic be updated without changing identifiers since it is extremely unlikely that Indeterminate is being used as an intended outcome for access control by the Policy Writer. The chair has asked that the TC be prepared to vote on this issue at the next meeting. Case Conversion Erik posted a proposal to reference XQuery using the Unicode 3.2.0 standard. There is general agreement by the TC that this is a good approach and the TC should make use of the latest version of the Unicode specification. Policy Reference Evaluation The TC had general agreement to follow the text posted to the list by Erik. #66 - MIssing Attributes Erik outlined his proposal for taking an alternate approach to how to solve "underspecified" attribute. Erik and Rich will add details to the text to generate a more concrete proposal. Hal suggested that WS-XACML work has applicability to this solution. Target Namespace Attribute There is general agreement that V3 will drop the check on: urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:2.0:resource:target-namespace V3 Functionality There is general agreement that the scope of features in the Core of V3 will be frozen by the next TC meeting. Work on the Core will be limited to resolving the Issues outlined at the next meeting. Rich proposed that the TC review the changes and thinking behind V3. He will post to the list to start a thread on the subject. meeting adjourned
