Federation: 4.3: Combining Policies - Reword "combine" as "merge" where appropriate?

[Vladimir Dzhuvinov]

In the section describing the processing of policy metadata from entities in a trust chain:

I’d like to propose a change in wording - to say “merge” instead of “combine” where the parameters of two operations of the same type, e.g. subset_of , are taken to produce a single one.

"subset_of": ["openid", "eduperson", "phone"]

+

"subset_of": ["openid", "eduperson", "address"]

=>

"subset_of": ["openid", "eduperson"]

And leave “combine” as it is to mean collection of policies of different types.

Sounds reasonable.

This is dealt with in the latest version of the specification.
