Older versions of the POSIX spec for ls clearly require a "+" on
any file with a SE Linux security context.
But the latest allows it to be any non-space printable character.
So eventually we'll make it more useful than a one-size-fits-all "+",
but it must remain a non-' '.
How 'bout logic like:
if (acl) then '+'
else if (selinux) then '.'
That would hopefully keep the selinux noise (not meant pejoratively) at
a low enough level to still make it possible to pick an acl out of a
listing. (I agree with Jim that the spirit of the POSIX spec requires
some kind of indicator, so if someone can't figure out why their
permissions aren't working they have some clue that another security
layer may be a factor.)
