In the WebDAV ACL draft, inheritance is explicit. Therefore, we'd
have to set it for each object in the tree. I think that is one of
the more debatable aspects of the WebDAV ACL draft - I think their
view is that they'd rather optimize the lookups (by having explicit
inheritance) rather than optimizing changes or storage of the ACL
entries. -- justin
