I've reworked things based on this clarification and committed it in rev 1138105. This is causing three new compliance test failures, but I think in all three cases the issue is in the test suite. In POL_4003, "ExtPolicySet" only applies to binding.sca, but the reference where the intent is specified will use binding.ws. In POL_4024, "PolicySet1" only applies to binding.ws, but the reference will use binding.sca. POL_4020 also fails because the appliesTo is not specifying the namespace for binding.sca. This is actually a pretty pervasive problem across many of the policy tests, but seems to only affect this test. Brent
