Is it used from policy administration interfaces to policy stores to read/update/commit policies?
XACML 2.0 only specifies the syntax and semantics of access control policy. However, it would be completely straightforward to implement a CRUD interface based on the POSIX file system, WebDAV or something of that sort and protect it using XACML policies. For XACML 3.0, the TC is attempting something more ambitious — the ability to create polices which control what sorts of policies may be created, e.g. policy delegation.
