I absolutely agree that it's nice to make extension easy in the future. If
the parameters ever did become an expression, however, I would want it to
be clear in any policy that this change happened. I like the fact that you
can't look at an XACML 2.0 Condition and mistake it for a 1.0/1.1
Condition. It's not something subtle we slid in, but an obvious change.
Building in something that causes a noticable (though easy) change later
is not always a bad thing, especially when the change refelects a new
behvior.
