xml:base no longer required
---------------------------

         Key: WSCOMMONS-25
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WSCOMMONS-25
     Project: WS-Commons
        Type: Improvement

  Components: Policy  
    Reporter: Paul Nolan


Unfortunately for us the ws-policy specification went and removed the xml:base 
attribute. We should probably go ahead and remove this from the Neethi code. It 
is easy to remove the code that deals with the attribute. However the 
implications are more complex.  There are now two ways to identify a Policy. 
The wsu:Id can be used for a local reference within the same document. The Name 
attribute can be used to give a URI to a Policy that can be used as an external 
reference. Just to confuse things this external Name can be different from a 
Policies Id.

If my reading of this is right this means that each time we add a Policy to the 
registry we need to give it up to two keys since we can not predict whether the 
Name or Id will be used to address it.
