Chopping off sounds like less coding :-)

I think the same general KISS approach applies here that you chose with
the time handling - no need to implement calendar algorithms in Parrot
lowest layer, so I don't think trying to abstract Universal ACL schema
is a priority.  If someone after Parrot 1.0 wants to implement Tibetan
lunar calendar or POSIX 1.e ACLs in IMC, let them.  The operative word
being "them".
