RE: ESS-02 MLA Receipt Policies

John,

OK, now that I understand the union, how should we handle the
upper bound applied to the insteadOf field?  As it's written
right now, the list of names is bounded by ub-insteadOf, with
a value of 16 decimal.  Suppose the union of the two lists
produces a list with more than 16 elements.  What gets
truncated?

Scott,

Yes.

Now I need to understand something about the intended union of the
policies.  Consider this case:

A's policy is insteadOf, and B's policy is inAdditionTo.  The table
says the union is insteadOf(A+B).  Does this mean the effective policy
is the union of A's insteadOf names and B's inAdditionTo names to yield
insteadOf(insteadOf(A) + inAdditionTo(B))?  I know there aren't any other
names available, but the table entry makes it look like there should be
insteadOf names for B.
