Description
Currently NSS will serve a response with Link rel=acl that points to another ACL resource, e.g. https://megoth.solid.community/.acl will have a Link rel=acl that points to https://megoth.solid.community/.acl.acl.
I don't think the .acl.acl file pattern is allowed according to the spec, and I would suggest another solution. Perhaps change the Link to rel=acl self and point to the ACL resource itself? Or drop the Link header altogether?

Research direction
Start by reading the linked Solid Web Access Control specification section on referring to the ACL resource itself, then reproduce the response for an ACL resource such as /.acl. Determine which Link header behavior conforms to the specification and verify that requests to ACL resources no longer advertise an incorrect nested ACL target.
