You're right. I was confusing with xattr(7). So, I think it might
make some sense to eventually move both of these into man-pages (for 
richacl(7), at least, it's probably worth delaying this for a bit), 
since  they're describing kernel-user-space interfaces. I can see 
counter-arguments too, such as these pages are closely related to 
the corresponding user-space libraries you maintain. What do you
think?

Thanks,

Michael
