I think so. If I remember correctly the idea was that the transformation and validation of the correct type is the job of the PDP, and everything is passed in as strings..

According to schema context-16f, Attribute does not have an xml DataType attribute attached to either Attribute or the enclosed AttributeValue.

Is this as intended? Is the PDP supposed to use the DataType in the Policy AttributeDesignator to determine the datatype of each Request Attribute?
