The definitive source of docs for ACLs and attrs is Andreas'
site -- http://acl.bestbits.at/.  This also has a tutorial on
using ACLs and the acl(5) man page.

There is no "list of attributes", partly because this is an
unbounded list (user and now trusted attributes are arbitrary)
and partly because nobody has tried to create a registry of
currently used attribute names (afaik).
