I tested the new scheme and am quite happy with. Just a minor thing. When I change the ACL, I get messages from all attached programs, like:

as they are. I changed slightly the code of db_paste() to correctly evaluate the index in each line of the .odb file. This way one can write for example |

In my opinion this makes sense. If KO agrees, you should commit your change.
