RFC3530bis draft 33 (6.2.1.3.1. Discussion of Mask Attributes) states
that for both the OPEN and the READ operations, "Servers SHOULD allow
a user the ability to read the data of the file when only the
ACE4_EXECUTE access mask bit is allowed". RFC5561 has the same
language.
To me that translates as saying that the server SHOULD accept an
OPEN(SHARE_ACCESS_READ|SHARE_ACCESS_WRITE) request in the above
situation.
