See thr subsequent paragraph (<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc3744.html#rfc.section.8.1.p.4>): "Implementation Note: Two common operations are to add or remove an ACE from an existing access control list. To accomplish this, a client uses the PROPFIND method to retrieve the value of the DAV:acl property, then parses the returned access control list to remove all inherited and protected ACEs (these ACEs are tagged with the DAV:inherited and DAV:protected XML elements). In the remaining set of non-inherited, non-protected ACEs, the client can add or remove one or more ACEs before submitting the final ACE set in the request body of the ACL method."
