Re: access control information (formerly... Strawman)

first, you both get my vote for the academian egghead idea of the week
award! :o)

i think simon is correct; even were the group able to reach such
agreement, i fear the learning curve associated with implementing such a
solution would be significant. i don't know about anyone else, but i
will be the first to claim practical ignorance with Horn Clauses (and i
consider myself in the upper quartile of the ignoramus population).

that is not to say that the idea is not good, but i wonder if there may
be a way to make it more approachable?
