Summary: A well written document that is ready for publication

Major issues: None

Minor issues: None

Nits/editorial comments:

These are really minor but I notices them during the review.

Paragraphs 1 and 2 of Section 2.2 (simplicity have a lot of overlapping
content. Perhaps they could be merged.

How about this?

OLD:

   There is concern that a complicated ACM will not be widely deployed
   because it is too hard to use.  It needs to be easy to do simple
   things and possible to do complex things, instead of hard to do
   everything.

   Configuration of the access control system needs to be as simple as
   possible.  Simple and common tasks need to be easy to configure and
   require little expertise or domain-specific knowledge.  Complex tasks
   are possible using additional mechanisms, which may require
   additional expertise.

"This choice matches if all leafs present in the rule match the request." Maybe
it is different  in C/S but the plural of leaf is usually leaves.

I see two references to leafs in the model. Maybe we could change them as follows:

OLD:

"This choice matches if all leafs present in the rule
 match the request.  If no leafs are present, the
 choice matches all requests.";

NEW:

"This choice matches if all leaves present in the rule
 match the request.  If no leaves are present, the
 choice matches all requests.";
