Subject: [xacml] change request: subject-attribute-designator and subjectcategory


xacml request context supports multiple <xacml-context:Subject> elements.
Each <xacml-context:Subject> element is tagged with the subject-category, such as:
access-subject, codesource, etc. Subject category name is unique, ie there is no
two <xacml-context:Subject> elements in the request context with the same value of subject-category
attribute.
 
<xacml:Subject> element in the policy allows us to specify multiple subject matches at the same time:
sm1 'and' sm2 'and' sm3 etc. Syntactically, context subject attribute is selected with
<xacml:SubjectAttributeDesignator> element that names attribute-id and issuer.
 
Very often all subject attributes must be selected from the same subject block.
 
Proposal: Extend <xacml:SubjectAttributeDesignator> with optional SubjectCategory attribute:
<xs:complexType name="SubjectAttributeDesignatorType">
    <xs:attribute name="AttributeId" type="xs:anyURI" use="required"/>
    <xs:attribute name="Issuer" type="xs:anyURI" use="optional"/>
    <xs:attribute name="SubjectCategory" type="xs:string" use="optional"/> <-- new attribute
</xs:complexType>
