Description Lorrie Cranor 2003-03-10 21:41:00 UTC 
The IBM P3P Policy Editor defines a P3P extension to assign a name attribute to the 
STATEMENT element. This is useful for the editor itself, but it has also proven useful for 
user agents when they display policy summaries to users. We should consider making 
this extension an "official" part of the P3P specification -- probably by referencing the 
extension in v1.1 and turning it into a regular attribute (without using the extension 
mechanism ) in future versions.
Comment 1 Lorrie Cranor 2003-05-07 13:01:33 UTC 
At the 7 May P3P specification working group conference call we agreed to adopt this 
extension as a P3P 1.1 extension. The editor is assigned to incorporate this into the 
P3P1.1 working draft.

While editing the Specification and getting the remarks from Matthias Schunter 
at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-p3p-specification/2004Feb/0001.html
I realized that this was superseded finally by the consent choices draft. 

So I re-open this bug for the 4 feb call.

=================================================================== 
On March 30th call we were trying to sort out the status of bug 171.  
Looking at section 3.3.2 in the 10 February working draft  
http://www.w3.org/TR/P3P11 it appears that this has already been  
solved. The STATEMENT-GROUP element takes a name attribute, and we  
explain that this is equivalent to the IBM extension.  Is there  
something else here I'm missing. If so, please set me straight. If not,  
I'm going to close this bug.
