New workspace for policy

We are currently working on moving the existing policy code out of Project Tango and into a separate workspace. This open source project is hosted as a part of the Metro community within GlassFish on java.net. The new workspace will allow us to do two things:

Enable direct support of WS-Policy in JAX-WS. JAX-WS will be able to read and generate e.g. WS-Addressing policy assertions without the addition of the Tango code. Essentially, we are moving up the policy code in the Metro stack from Tango to a base library.
Pursue experimental APIs, policy languages, etc. This workspace gives us a sandbox to work on new ideas and concepts.

The web site is already fully operational and the policy base code checked in. We are now working on reintegrating that code into the Metro stack.
