Fine -- forget access control.  Go back to telnet for all I care ;-)

But when drafts like partial locking have statements such as
"must have some access rights", that is a pretty clear indication
that the WG needs to consider issues like what is an access right?,
and what does it mean to 'have', 'permit' or 'deny' that access right?
Pretty basic stuff.

(Remember the emphatic reason the WG could not work on a standard
ACM 8 months ago?  "We don't understand the requirements!".
I'm glad that the WG understands them now :-)
