Description

With Jackrabbit 2 it was possible to set ACLs for nodes which do not exist yet through Principal-based ACLs (http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/AccessControl#Principal-based_ACLs).
With Oak this is no longer possible as the principal based ACEs are not supported (https://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/security/accesscontrol/differences.html). Since there are valid use cases for setting ACEs prior to creating the according nodes it would be good, if Oak would support this as well.
