[poe] 3.1.2 Undefined Policy

simonstey has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/poe:

== 3.1.2 Undefined Policy ==
> 3.1.2 Undefined Policy

- it's about undefined actions not policies right?

> The undefined attribute is used to indicate how to support Actions 
that are not part of any profile in the policy expression system. 

- what's a _policy expression system_ ?
- how do we know whether an action _is part of a profile_ ?
- is there a default profile to which all currently defined actions 
belong to?

> In the support case, even though the Action is unknown, the policy 
still is valid and the consuming parties or system of the policy MUST 
be made aware of the unknown Action.

- by whom? 
- do they also have to _support_ those actions? or do they only have 
to be made aware of them?

> This MAY be via a user interface that displays the unknown Action 
for human readability.

- what does that mean for systems automatically consuming/processing 
ODRL? 

> In the ignore case, even though the Action is unknown, the policy 
still is valid and the consuming parties or system of the policy MAY 
be made aware of the unknown Action.

- and it's up to them to decide whether they want to support or ignore
 those actions? 

> In the invalid case with the unknown Action, the policy is invalid 
and the consuming parties or system of the policy MUST be made aware 
of this.

- wording
- and it's up to them to decide whether they want to process that 
invalid policy anyway?

> and since the undefined attribute is invalid

- is it really invalid or is its value set to invalid
