My thoughts are that we should get the policy editor working with
the most prevalent version of the policy spec first (and that is
1.2 perhaps?) and then move on the other versions. The difference
between 1.2 and 1.5 seems small - a namespace change and the addition
of an extra attribute - so maybe we could have a point solution for
that situation leading up to Ganymede. This would be in preference
to constructing something more frameworklike, which may impact the
release.

What do you think?
