And you know that ACL is an acronym for "Access Control LISTS", right?

Full-fledged ACLs do allow you to specify individual access rights for 
an arbitrary number of users and/or user groups, not just for the owner, 
one user group and the rest of the world.

BTW, some commercial Unixes like HP-UX do provide proper ACLs (they even 
use that very term for the feature).
