As a general principle, a property should never contain anything that has identity independent of the resource to which the property is attached. In such situations, it is always preferable to use a link to the resource that defines the property contents, since that allows sharing and caching of properties among many resources. An ACL is one example of something that has identity beyond that of a single resource. In fact, the common case is to associate one ACL with an entire tree of resources. ....Roy
