What confuses me the most is the lack of description for each of the
Acl usage modes. I have no idea how they differ, when to use them and
why. I think this is the biggest flaw of Acl docs.

In general, not just ACL, I feel examples and tutorials should lean
more towards 'real' database access and less towards SQL. We all know
(or should know) how to create and manipulate records through SQL,
but we're there to learn how to do things through Cake / PHP so
examples using Cake are
The Lord of the rings Example shows us how powerful ACL in cake can
be, and helped me a lot to get in touch with ACL.
But (for me) it is far away from a real users project.
Perhaps an example of controlling rights of a whole communitiy login
with diffrent roles could be useful to understand

2. Keep what's there and update it.

I think I'd say somewhere in the middle. I think much of the Lord of
the Rings intro is okay but maybe a little verbose and not directly
applicable to anybody's project. Using an example like a standard
User/Group permission system would be easier to understand.
I like the way the section is
I agree that there are some good things in the acl/ auth section, but
it is the area that so many people crash in, sometimes I think there
almost needs to be a wrapper for them that makes it easier to get
started with, but then the inevitable complaints about constricting
the application

I think the best thing to do in the cookbook is improve a better way to
create and update translations.
Nowadays, when a English version is modified the translated version show up
a information of that.
But, does not exist a report where shows this information. Only in the
article, I think.
So,
The problem with the ACL documentation is that it isn't explicity said
that there are different and distinct modes to run the Auth component
in when paired with ACL. If you read all the tutorials they all go
over different modes and you eventually figure out that each technique
is different...

A big yes to this point - there has to be a near copy-paste example and then
it should elaborate on various modes
