Description

Section 8.2.1 (Paginated Requests) says:

Furthermore, the PDP MUST declare support for the corresponding capability URN in its supported_capabilities metadata (Section 9.1.2).

There is no supported_capabilities metadata member. Section 9.1.2, which this sentence itself cross-references, defines the member as capabilities, and that is the name registered in the PDP Metadata Registry (Section 12.3). supported_capabilities appears nowhere else in the document, and it is also present in the published version.

Should be fixed as: capabilities.

Research direction

Open the AuthZEN specification and locate Section 8.2.1, then compare its metadata member name with the definition in Section 9.1.2 and the PDP Metadata Registry in Section 12.3. Replace the incorrect supported_capabilities reference with capabilities and verify that no incorrect occurrence remains in the document.
