RE: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-pkix-acmc-01.txt

["Yee, Peter" <pyee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I promised Stephen Farrell that I would include a means to provide
functionality similar to LAAP in ACMC (issuing ACs according to
a pre-agreed policy).  The text for that change didn't make it into
the version I sent to the I-D reposter just before the deadline, so I'm
sending it to the list.  The following text replaces the last paragraph
in Section 4.3 (Attribute Modification Handling Control Attribute):

       When attributes are to be issued according to a given profile or
       policy, the requester MAY send requested attributes and their
       values or omit them.  If values are supplied, the AA may modify
       these values within the bounds of the policy.  If the attributes
       are omitted in the request, the AA supplies a permissible set of
       attributes and values as dictated by the policy.  If the policy
       identifier (attrModPolicy) is not explicitly noted, then the
       policy is taken to be a pre-agreed default policy.

I also made the policy identifier OPTIONAL in order to support this mode.

As always, comments are welcome.
