5. Theory of Operation

I propose not to limit ACL to the only RBAC model. There are a lot of models. And all of them are just a bases, so in certain project developer creating a new model based on ideas of well-known models.
I agree that RBAC is very good model and t can be used almost in all cases, but don't forget about almost. So for example right now a I need an ACL model based on ideas of bit field. Of course it can be done with RBAC, but with additional classes and functions.
