Not ACLs, but I've thought it would be nice to reuse SSH keys and
maybe make another dot-directory, and anyone with a matching public
key in the dot-directory would have access to it, similar to
.ssh/authorized_keys but with a separate file per user.  Maybe have a
hierarchy inside to determine which operations were allowed by which
keysets.

That way the owner(s) could assign arbitrary permissions without any
third-party intervention, and potentially cross administrative realms.
 It could even be relatively cross-platform, something you could do
with a GUI on other OSes in a way semi-intuitive for newbies.  The key
processing would probably add too much overhead for general use, but
the tradeoff might be worth it for those instances where you're trying
to facilitate certain kinds of data sharing.
