No. The section Evaluation Model in the reference [1] explains it best. It
would have been possible to reverse the statements so that it was
DenyEdit: all
AllowEdit: Wilson
would also work. The key is it evaluates the rules in order and looks to see
if, after evaluating all rules, the user has the right. If your last rule is
a DenyEdit:all then no user will ever have edit rights.
