I don't get it.

When I some days ago launched the idea that AC's should (or could) be based on XML schemas
there were hardly any sentiment for that.

Some even cocluded that XML was not a PKIX-item!

Now I see a lot of XML "promotion" in an other PKIX-area which is interesting but slightly puzzling.

IMO ACs have at least the same "informational content" as OCSP-X and SCVP. 
Each AC "authorization profile", "receipt" or "ticket" ought to be just perfect to express
as an XML schema.  Wouldn't it?
