Well, I'm thinking about how windows inherits ACLs (which
is a similar problem):

   Some ACLS are inherited only by child directories.

   Some ACLs are inherited only by child files.

   Some ACLs are inherited by both.

   Some ACLs are 'inherit only' -- in other words, they
   don't apply to the parent container, only to children
   (either directories or files or both.)

Now I'm not sure we want that much complexity in inheritable
properties...

Thanks,

Joseph
