On: The ACL is dead (Talk at CUSEC by Zed Shaw)

He literally implemented Sarbanes-Oxley with assistance from the lawyers who could read his Ruby.

Ie, if you want source code, get the legislation, make the objects it mentions, then write rules in the same order.

Thanks for replying.

I realize my initial request was a bit unclear. I'm not so much interested in the specific rules/legislation, but rather in a (canonical) implementation of a rules engine of that type. I get the basic functionality, but how does it come together elegantly?
