TBH, I don't think this goes nearly far enough.  It seems like it
is making the fragmentation of aclitem information worse not better.
I feel if we're going to do anything, we should put a unified description
of privileges and aclitem-reading into section 5.6, and take that material
out of the various places where it lives now.  Like the attached, in which
I failed to resist the temptation to wordsmith some stuff as well as move
it around.
