Description

In todays authorization panel (see PR) it was pointed out that the access modes were currently defined in the spec.

So @matthieubosquet argued and others seemed to agree that

It is the purpose of the Solid protocol to define which operations can be performed depending on granted access modes.

Given that I would like to point to the issue #94 deprecate acl:Control, replace with ... that I mistakenly wrote up in the WAC spec site thinking that this issue was decided there.

Start by reading the authorization-panel minutes linked in the issue and issue #94, which contains the related proposal to deprecate acl:Control. Determine the agreed replacement and scope before changing the specification; done means the decision and resulting treatment of wac:Control are reflected consistently in the relevant specification text.
