Carol,

Here's the revised text, in .rtf format (I still couldn't get my Word to digest
your .doc... Bill sucks).  You may need to
check over the text to make sure I haven't garbled the interface names.



By the way, you sent me a bit more than just the section I was to revise
(there's a little bit of Konstantin's stuff at the end of the
file), so be careful to take only what I wrote -- I've left everything after
the end of my section unchanged in what you sent
me.

Here's the text for the introduction:

"This submission provides access control functionality not supported by
CORBAsecurity which is required in healthcare and other application
environments.  It is intended to be implementable using CORBAsecurity as a
base; it is also
intended to be implementable in ORB environments which do not provide
CORBAsecurity.  For detailed information about the healthcare environment's
access control requirements, refer to the HRAC RFP (OMG document number
xx-xx-xx)."

Here's text for (the former) section 2.3 (outstanding issues):

"Passing only a list of the PolicyEvaluator objects' ternary decision results
to the PolicyCombinator, without identifying
which PolicyEvaluator generated each result, does not support policies which
impose precedence relations on
PolicyEvaluators.  In order to support precendence-based policies, it will be
necessary for the PolicyCombinator
to determine what the precedence relationships among the various ternary
results it receives are.  The submitters intend
to support precedence-based policies; the final submission will be enhanced to
accomodate precedence."

I think this is everything I currently owe you.
