If we agree about the last interpretation of the Access Rule, that is on
the definition of an "identified" privilege (see my previous mail), I
finally think that the specs is ok and it just need to be implemented.
The bizarre would be more in the way that things are explained in the spec
than what is specified.
Have a nice day,
