[discuss] should we switch to requiring container-write instead of resource-write permissions for delete? about web-access-control-spec HOT 4 CLOSED

General note regarding changes:
let us not be influenced too much by what exists. Many things were fast/pragmatic choices, many of which were never discussed or thought through. We still have the luxury of changing things at this point; that luxury will likely have disappeared within a year.

• As remarked in solid/node-solid-server#729 (comment), and I agree, the current spec makes more sense.

No cherry-picking please 😛

nodeSolidServer/node-solid-server#729 (comment) follows up

from web-access-control-spec.

I have implemented the current spec in pod-server, which means acl:Write on the resource for create, update, as well as delete. So if in this issue we decide to change the spec, that will mean NSS becomes compliant, but pod-server will stop being compliant.

Closing this issue as consensus is deemed to be captured in WAC Editor's Draft: https://solid.github.io/web-access-control-spec/ . See #authorization-evaluation #reading-writing-resources #access-mode-extensions . See also #85
