Name:Anne Anderson
Title:Secretary
Organization:OASIS XACML TC
Regarding Specification:

     * SAML 2.0 profile of XACML v2.0,
       which includes:
        * Core specification document
        * SAML 2.0 Assertion Extension Schema
        * SAML 2.0 Protocol Extension Schema

The XACML TC voted on 2/1/06 to request inclusion of this profile in the "SAML 
Profiles, Bindings, and Extensions" list at
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=security#extensions

This profile consists of a specification and 2 schemas that have been approved 
as OASIS Standards.  They describe the use of SAML assertions and protocols as 
part of an XACML system.  They also describe the use of the enhanced 
authorization decision features provided by XACML that are mentioned in 
Sections 2.7.4 and 3.4.2.4 of the SAML 2.0 core specification.

I would recommend listing our three documents (or simply the title of the 
profile) along with a link to the XACML 2.0 Standard specification set on our 
XACML TC home page 
(http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=xacml#XACML20) as 
this will guide users not only to the approved OASIS Standard profile, but to 
the errata and other related information.
