A few thoughts on the PermissionEx enhancements:

1) With the addition of the inheritance semantics flags, the attribute 
checking doesn't make as much sense; forcing one to use Traverse instead 
of Execute on a CreateFolder element is a bit strange when ApplyToFiles 
is selected.

2) Is it worthwhile to restrict the inheritance flags to containers?

3) The identity generation for the SecureObjects table doesn't handle 
multiple entries of the same type (e.g. allow) for the same user on a 
given target.  Given the inheritance flags, this is actually a pretty 
common scenario (think Read + Traverse Folder w/o File Execute).

The first two are mostly niceties; I will go ahead and put in a fix for #3.
