We were thinking of such functionality. But it has two drawbacks: It is
not easiliy manageable through WebDAV and requires low level repository
access and if implemented in the realm of ACLs (the natural integration
point IMHO, and of course *nix like) it gets nasty because there is no
public API for that ....

Finally there is a third drawback: We are talking about resources, which
need not necessairily come out of the repository (e.g. bundle based
scripts). In this context we don't even have a way of setting such flags
easily.
