I think the idea of more defaults is a good one and I am forwarding this to the TC list.

However, based on past discussions, I believe the TC would be more likely to select "deny-overrides" as the default.

Hello all, I wanted to suggest some points for the XACML standard with the goal of simplifying XACML Policies (by reducing their verboseness).

1. Define a default policy/rule combining algorithm, e.g. "permit- overrides", if the attribute PolicyCombiningAlgId/RuleCombiningAlgId is missing from a PolicySet/Policy tag.

2. Define "string-equal" as default MatchId attribute in SubjectMatch, ResourceMatch and ActionMatch tags.

3. Define "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string" as default DataType attribute in AttributeValue tags.

4. Define "urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0:subject:subject-id"/ "urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0:resource:resource-id"/ "urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0:action:action-id" as default values for the AttributeId attribute of SubjectAttributeDesignator/ ResourceAttributeDesignator/ ActionAttributeDesignator
