Thanks - I think I understand.

However, I still think that the action element does not really serve a
purpose. In the issues-list, the example is:
         <o-ex20:permission assigner="party99">
          <o-ex20:play/>
           <o-ex20:object>asset01</o-ex20:object>
           <o-ex20:beneficiary id="party01"/>
           <o-ex20:hasConstraint id="c01"/>
           <o-ex20:hasDuty id="d01"/>
         </o-ex20:permission>
However, I think the permission model from ODRL 1.0 is much more
elegant, and the above example would look:
         <o-ex20:play assigner="party99">
           <o-ex20:object>asset01</o-ex20:object>
           <o-ex20:beneficiary id="party01"/>
           <o-ex20:hasConstraint id="c01"/>
           <o-ex20:hasDuty id="d01"/>
         </o-ex20:permission>
I do understand that the current approach was due to the prohibition
model - but _if_ the prohibition model is changed, then the action model
is not really necessary.
