Description

This is a first draft to re-establish the long-discussed Implementor's Guide, which was started early in the history of the TC: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xacml/repository/xacml-implement-guide-1.1.doc, but has not had attention directly paid to it in several years.

The reason for resurrecting it now is to explain the situation with the combining algorithms that has been discussed recently in the TC. The issues are subtle (and the doc has a ref in it that points to other efforts that have been made to address this issue, which I just "discovered", so it gives us a reference point for further exploration).

However, the description currently in the document is intended to fully explain the issue to implementors and users alike, and should be useful for fielding future questions about these algorithms as well as providing a platform for addressing additional aspects of the issue plus addressing other issues as well as the need and motivation to resolve arises.

At this point, the suggestion is to maintain the document in the manner of the original, and, as such it is written using the original as the basis and change bars are wrt original.
