Subject: [nfsv4] ACL compatibility goals for NFSv4.1 (?)

As working group co-chair, I would like to understand what the 
group's goals are for the ACL attribute for NFSv4.1.

Going into NFSv4.1, I had understood the need for additional
explanatory text for the ACL text to handle certain interpretation
and implementation discussions that had occurred on the alias.

Is the working group willing to entertain changes such that
NFSv4.1 will become incompatible with existing NFSv4.0 clients
and servers?

Should we contain ourselves to the additional explanatory text
and changes such that compatibility is maintained?

Are there other requirements that we should consider and agree upon?

Spencer
