I’ve merged Dirk’s latest updates to the wip branch 
(wip-merge-resource-location-changes). Here’s a summary of the scope of changes:

 - Support resource-location attributes in openaz-pep
 - Rename some tests and artifacts
 - Clean up the implementation of a specific feature that allowed non-standard 
subject, action and resource ids 
 - And tests to demonstrate this scenario.

Ideally, it would have been good to tackle some of the above independently.

Anyway, I’ll wait for a couple of days before merging it to master, in case any 
of you are interested in looking at/reviewing it.

Thanks,
Ajith
