well, sorry i was in a hurry and i though it was clear enough ;-)
what i mean is that we do not want a middleware specific handling of ACLs, 
all midlewares have some sort of ACLs in one place or another...

For instance gLite in SRM/LFC, on VOMS entries, GRIA on all services (ok, 
they call it PBAC), AWS on S3 buckets...

So my plan was simple, a context menu action "Manage access rights" (or 
manage permissions?) on all elements of the project tree which support 
ACLs which opens a dialog allowing to manage the ACLs

But you know it already anyway because you asked me via private email...
so... you should know that i already invested time investigating the 
different usecases to support and that my results are summarized in the 
few interfaces that i committed into   core.accesscontrol
(ehy! they are even fully documented ;-)

Perhaps they are not general enough or you found them to be fully flawed, 
but instead of starting a discussion from zero you should have provided 
feedback!

And yes, i analyzed Amazon S3, GRIA PBAC, glite stuff,... and tried to look 
around a bit also.

Cheers, ariel
