    Well, actually, LSM doesn't limit you to this assumption even in
    its current form.  As I said in a previous message to Casey
    in a message on this thread, a module can override the existing DAC 
    logic entirely by using the capable hook, and can then define
    its own arbitrary logic via the other hook functions.
