Description: XACML 2.0 implementation for CEDA (the Centre for Environmental Data Archival) 
        STFC, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.  This is follow on work from the NERC 
        (Natural Environment Research Council) DataGrid 3 Project.
        
        XACML (eXtensible Access Control Mark-up Language), is an XML based language for
        expressing access control policies.

        Release 0.3
        ===========
        Includes important fixes for equals functions, and improvement to at least one
        member functions.  Unit tests improved with wider coverage of different rule
        definitions and example request contexts.
        
        Improved and added to support for context handler and Policy Information Point
        interfaces including the ability for the PDP to call back to a PIP via a 
        Context handler to retrieve additional subject attributes.
        
        Release 0.2
        ===========
        Only the parts of the specification immediately required for CEDA have been 
        implemented in this initial release:
         Policy Decision Point;
         Deny overrides and Permit overrides rule combining algorithms;
         AttributeDesignators;
         various function types: see ndg.xacml.core.functions;
         and attribute types: see ndg.xacml.core.attribute;
         incomplete support for <AttributeSelector>s, <VariableReference>, 
         <VariableDefinition>. <Obligations>;
         includes an ElementTree based parser for Policies. No support for writing
         out policies or read/write of XML representation of <Request> and <Response>;
           
        See ndg.xacml.test for unit tests and examples.
        
        The software follows a modular structure to allow it to be extended easily to 
        include new parsers, functions and attribute types
