Sections 5.3.1.2, B.23.4 and B.23.5 would be relevant ones
to read about default ACLs.
The 1.0 release, however, applies default ACLs which are
affected by the umask. This has been fixed in the CVS tree
so that default ACLs are used in preference to the umask.
(the fix didn't make it in time to 1.0).
