That entry comes from me, and having a standard-compliant ACL 
implementation seems nice to me, hence the mention of POSIX.
If an implementation based on extended attributes can be done, I see no 
reason not to do it, and being compatible with FreeBSD seems a worthwhile 
goal to set.

Please note that, while I suggested this as a project, I do not have 
enough technical experience to act as a mentor for this project.
