Subject: Re: ETA for java.security.acl?

However, note that there is an implementation in the sun.security.acl
package. This was split apart from the interfaces (it was originally
all the same package) on the grounds that we shouldn't be making any
particular implementation more equal than others. The interfaces in
the java.security.acl package "should" be clear about semantics, else
that's a specification bug. As always, feedback appreciated!

The main current user of those ACLs is the Java Web Server, which uses
those ACLs to control access to resources which it provides ... such
as web pages, servlets, administrative features, and more.
