Subject:[xacml-comment] Rationale for 3.0 schema combining policy and context schemas in same file and namespace

Dear XACML TC,

I just started looking at XACML 3.0 draft specs and noticed that the policy and context schemas have been combined into a single file name xacml-core-v3-schema-wd-17.xsd.

FWIW, in my experience it is better to keep policy (information model) and context (protocol) schemas in separate xsd files and namespaces. As such I feel XACML 2.0 had it right and XACML 3.0 combining the two is a step in the wrong direction.

I was curious what the rationale of the TC was to make this change and would be grateful for some explanation. Thanks in advance.
