close (XACML is defined in various OASIS specs), but not 100% (there is 
no single OASIS document tying the various versions together). we do 
have things in there that are not specified anywhere else, which is why 
we chose to go the IETF route where we can publish and discuss drafts.

that's good to know. for now, we would like to continue the route we 
have been preparing, if that is possible. our main goal was to have a 
way how we can make this work public and discuss it before we simply 
declare it registered.

ok, i just did that. please let me know if anything speaks against 
keeping this on its current path. thanks and cheers,
