Description Monica Martin 2007-01-05 21:00:58 UTC
Title
Duplicate text exists in Section 3 and 3.2, PolicyAttachments. [1]

     Description and Justification
In the PolicyAttachments document, duplicate text exists in Sections 3 and 3.2. Section 3 is an introduction whereby Section 3.2 and others provide the details. Duplicate text is:

   This section defines two general-purpose mechanisms for associating
   policies with one or more policy subjects.   The first allows
   XML-based descriptions of resources to associate policy  <http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/%7Echeckout%7E/2006/ws/policy/ws-policy-attachment.html?content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8#policy>
   as part of their intrinsic definition. The second allows policies to
   be associated with arbitrary policy subjects independently from
   their definition.

Most of this text fits in Section 3.2. If revised, Section 3 could serve as the introduction.

     Target
Web Services Policy 1.5 - Attachment [2]

     Proposal
Revise Section 3 to minimize duplicative text (given the sections are so close together as well). Revised text for Section 3 is provided below. No change is needed to Section 3.2.

Change from:
This section defines two general-purpose mechanisms for associating policies with one or more policy subjects.   The first allows XML-based descriptions of resources to associate policy   <http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/%7Echeckout%7E/2006/ws/policy/ws-policy-attachment.html?content-type=text/html;%20charset=utf-8#policy>
as part of their intrinsic definition. The second allows policies to be associated with arbitrary policy subjects independently from their definition.

In addition it defines the processing rules for scenarios where multiple policies are attached to a policy subject.

Change to:
This section defines two general-purpose mechanisms for associating policies with one or more policy subjects.  In addition it also specifies the processing rules for scenarios where multiple policies are attached to a policy subject.
