This is not according to my interpretation. It also doesn't make sense:
how can an empty and a non-empty condition be equal?

A rule with no condition matches any request even if no identity was
provided; a rule with no *identity* condition matches regardless of the
identity. In other words, other conditions will determine whether the
rule applies.

This bit...

<conditions>
    <identity>
       <any/>
    </identity>
</conditions>

...then again only matches requests that have an asserted identity. Does
not matter which identity, as long as it is asserted and exists.

Cheers,
Aki
