Bruce, In looking at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-acl-mapping-05, it states that when mapping the write bit, only for the owner do we set ACE4_WRITE_ACL. Back in version 00, it is open as to whether we can also set it for the group and other if they have the write bit set. I looked back at the NFSv4 WG aliases and I see some discussion from Lisa on how Solaris only ever sets it for the owner due to POSIX restrictions via chmod(). So, now I know how another server does it. What does the Linux server do in this case?
