The functionality seems to be working just fine - I am curious on how
the interface to this will be.

I wish I could select my app (or call the acl from admin->app->acl) -
then select one of several predefined locations (for my app) from a list
- and then check the appropriate predefined right(s), depended of the
location, for my users (I picture a somewhat similar ui as for
'preferences->app->grant access')

I am curious on where this definitions (name/value of the checkboxes etc
..) should be stored - in the code (or template) or in the database?

I thought that if the values were stored in the database - an simple
admin_acl_hook (per app) would enable the acl for all apps - and the
maintainers would only be concerned by naming locations and defining
rights pr location.

I am sure this is well taken care of - so I'll just wait for the ACL
manager interface to try it out.
