One thing that's important about ACLs is grouping. You wouldn't acces
a firewall that requires you to type in every single IP address. You
wouldn't use windows permissions where you needed to specify every
user's access.

Has someone proposed a wildcard scheme or group identifier via OpenID,
because that would be awesome.
