Hi Eric, I agree with your statement. However, if these acls get added for any reason (e.g. a program that is not verifying that they correspond to valid users), and they show up in the Docs GUI, you would expect them to work. I think I'd much rather get a failure message from Google whenever one tries to add them, so that they wouldn't be propagated to the GUI in the first place. Would you rather not see this posted as a bug then? -Patricia
