However, this statement is too restrictive. It doesn’t allow for processing the root wsp:Policy element. Also, it doesn’t allow for processing policy expressions in the compact form. There is already text in section 4.3.2 [2] that clarifies that policy expressions within assertion parameters should not be processed: Note: This specification does not define processing for arbitrary wsp:Policy Element Information Items in the descendants of an assertion parameter, e.g., in the [children] property of one of the [children] as in <Lorem><Ipsum><wsp:Policy> … </wsp:Policy></Ipsum></Lorem>. JUSTIFICATION: The current statement about the processing of wsp:Policy elements is inaccurate. PROPOSAL: Remove the last paragraph in Section 4 To add further clarity, we also suggest that the example in the Note in section 4.3.2 be broken out as a fully formatted example with a root wsp:Policy element: Example ?? <wsp:Policy> <Lorem> <Ipsum> <wsp:Policy> … </wsp:Policy> </Ipsum> </Lorem> <wsp:Policy> Daniel Roth [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-ws-policy-20061117/#rPolicy_Expression [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-ws-policy-20061117/#Policy_Assertion_Nesting 13633 1 fsasaki 2007-01-17 00:56:54 +0000 Resolved at http://www.w3.org/2007/01/16-ws-policy-irc#T00-56-05 , by agreement with proposal at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0121.html .
