Perhaps you can add a link to http://sourceforge.net/projects/ngacl on
your page, as a first try to address these issues on linux.

I think you are missing one distinctive difference in the semantics of
nfsv4 and windows acl: inheritance! afaik nfsv4 uses static inheritance
(acls are inherited only at file creationt time) and windows uses a
semi-dynamic model (acls are inherited at the time they are set).
Applications that rely on one behaviour may do strange things!
