OpenSAML user discussion

Hello everybody,

In order to realize an authorization-service, we want to use SAML1.1 to 
communicate with the applications or a web server bounded 
communication-component.
The one thing I don’t understand is why the Action Element at the 
AuthorisationDecisionQuery is a must. 
Our goal is to get all actions a subject can do and not a restricted number 
of them.
What was the reason to define that the Action Element is a must?
Should or could I ignore it without violating the standard?

Thanks in advance
