I've fixed the following additional problems:

RichACLs are an extension of the traditional POSIX file permission
model, not of the POSIX ACL model.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a man-page covering POSIX File
Access Permissions as in Appendix A of
http://www.bestbits.at/richacl/draft-gruenbacher-nfsv4-acls-in-posix-00.html.

A lot of the gaps between paragraphs were wrong when rendered for printing.

The modification dates were outdated.
