Subject: [xacml] extending xacml semantics

Currently there is no semantics associated with the 
'subject' and 'resource' definition in the 'target' of a rule.
The only thing we do is match attribute designator 
with attribute value.
 
Although there was a decision made not to have such 
semantics, I find it limiting.
 
I propose to allow new elements in the rule target 
that convey semantics of an attribute.
 
It is accomplished by wrapping subject-match with 
<subject-class> element, like this:
 
<rule>
    <target>
        
<subjects>
        
    <subject>
        
        <subject-class 
class-id="urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0:subject:class:group"> <-- this line 
is new
        
            <subject-match 
match-id="function:string-equal">
        
                
<subject-attribute-designator attribute-id="security-role"
        
                
    
category="urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:subject:access-subject"/>
                        
<attribute-value>admin</attribute-value>
        
            
</subject-match>
        
        </subject-class>
        
    </subject>
        
</subjects>
    .... etc ...
    </target>
</rule>
 
This syntax allows us to reason about a 
subject of a rule. (Same applies to resource).
It states not only how to match subject attribute, 
but also what this attribute is, namely a group.
 
I hope this proposal did not come too late, but if 
it did, we can consider it for xacml 1.x
