A long due revision on PCELS is now available on-line. It includes changes that address:
- the issues raised by Bert in his AD Review
- the issues and suggestions expressed on this mailing list.
In particular none of the PCLS classes is deprecated and the impact on PCLS implementations is now explicitly assessed.
A brief list of the changes follows:
1. This revision does not deprecate schema items defined in PCLS.
The "Abstract" of this document has been modified accordingly.
2. To make them easily distinguishable from the object classes and
attributes defined in PCLS, the schema items defined in this document
are now prefixed "pcels" instead of "pcim".
3. In previous versions of this document the pcimPolicyGroup object
class (initially defined by PCLS) was redefined as a subclass of
pcimPolicySet (now pcelsPolicySet). This modification has been
abandoned.
4. Added note on PolicyGroup representation as pcelsRule or
pcelsPolicySet.
5. Abandoned deprecation of pcimRepository and modified
pcelsReusableContainer to subclass pcimRepository.
6. Added general considerations in the opening of the schema
definitions (section 5).
7. Added text to clarify which attributes defined in PCLS are also
used in object classes defined here.
8. Instead of deprecating pcimRuleConditionAssociation and replacing
it with pcelsConditionAssociation, the latter object class has been
modified, so that is now a subclass of pcimRuleConditionAssociation
which is no longer deprecated.
9. Instead of deprecating pcimRuleActionAssociation and replacing it
with pcelsActionAssociation, the latter object class has been
modified, so that is now a subclass of pcimRuleActionAssociation
which is no longer deprecated.
10. The class pcimRule and its subclasses defined by PCLS are no
longer deprecated. A note has been added to clarify the issue
regarding the functionality replacement for compatibility with
PCIM_EXT.
11. The pcimGroupContainmentAuxClass and pcimRuleContainmentAuxClass
object classes defined by PCLS are no longer deprecated. A note has
been added to clarify the issue regarding the functionality
replacement for compatibility with PCIM_EXT.
12. Added text to explicitly describe the use of
pcelsPolicySetAssociation for the realization of the
PolicySetInSystem association. This was unclear in previous
revisions.
13. Revised "Summary of changes since PCLS" in accordance with the
changes listed above.
14. Revised security considerations.
15. Updated normative and informative references.
16. Added section to explain impact on PCLS implementations.
17. Added note on OID assignment status. (before section 1).
18. For compliance with NITS, the abstract does not use citations.
19. Added text to indicate valid and default attribute values where
applicable.
Note that a few (new) open issues are listed at the end of the document. Comments from the group are *very* welcome.
Thank You,
Mircea.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
