402 merge on write

[brandtkeller]

Description

Common write functionality that should provide consolidation for writing any OSCAL objects to a file.

Discussion

Open to feedback or discussion here. Having the ability to aggregate many oscal models into a single artifact will allow for greater portability and less bloat across the OSCAL lifecycle. Something like a production environment would have used most of the models - requiring one file for each may not be optimal.

Yes - this has the potential to create large files that are not visually appealing. This is more of an opt-in process based on the output file specified. I'd also argue that machine-readable files are just that - machine-readable - and it will be Lulas job to make the underlying data accessible.
