Sure - good point.

> 2.  Is the definition of "target" still correct?  Through your recent exchanges with Francis, I think we have now established that a Policy can include several Permissions relating to different target Assets.  So should the definition refer to "Permission or Prohibition", not "Policy"?  And "primary object" is not a very exact form of words.  Does it mean "The Asset upon which a permitted or prohibited Action is performed"?  Or are there use cases which require a looser definition?

Since these relations are also used for Duties, we could say "The Asset upon which the Action applies" ?


> 3.  Should the definition for "output" be more consistent with the definition of "target"?  Something like "The Asset which is output from a permitted Action"?

Agree.
