@VincentTunru @jg10 Sad.

WAC has received a new version this year, while ACP only in 2022. I suppose the specwriters are more focused on WAC?

ACP has been mostly pushed by Inrupt, the company Tim Berners-Lee founded around Solid, and which is mostly focusing on enterprise customers. (Disclosure: I used to work there a couple of years ago.) It's the method their Solid instance pod.inrupt.com uses.

WAC was the initial access control spec for Solid, and is still used by the main community-used server, solidcommunity.net.

So they're both the main focus for an important cohort of people, unfortunately...

In general it's important to note that the Solid specifications are still in flux - but I don't think permissions is a major issue at this time - WAC and ACP are sufficiently similar that two possible solutions include having client libraries interoperate across both or updating WAC to include missing features
