generalized permission for controls



Folks,

Mark Davidson proposed a generalized permission for
controls in his note dated July 6 on ACM permissions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACI = rights "#" target "#" generalSubject

permission = "x" ; execute control
; permission u can only be used on controls

target = "[all]" / "[entry]" / (attribute *("," attribute)) /
"[controls]" / (controlType *("," controlType))

controlType is defined in RFC2251

Control use - can use control where aci is active (this
replaces the g permission in a more general way)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The authors like this idea and are working on text to
incorporated this into the draft and move the
getEffectiveRights control (and permission) in line with
this proposal.

We'll be putting a synopsis of this out shortly to the list.

In the interim, any comments?
