I don't believe so.
The ACLs only use the standard permissions of rwx.
However, I believe Connex do have a patch for extended ACLs with
extra permissions (including deletion):
    "Change Permission", "Delete", and "Change Ownership".
John Trostel (jtrostel@mindspring.com) informed me of their patch.


BTW, general questions about ACLs (not XFS specific) are usually 
best directed at the  ACL mailing list.
