from JCR-2700:

> an empty string restriction forces the ACE to take effect on the node it has been applied. 

which means in this case, effect on '/'. but if i want to restrict the subnodes of '/' i can't express this. but i can for all other nodes than '/'.

eg: using '/*' works but not on '/' which is not intuitive.

> i tried to define a ACL on '/' that would allow 'read' on '/' itself, but not for the nodes underneath. i tried "*", "/*", "./*" but none of them seem to do the desired effect.
> eg:
> everyone,allow,jcr:read, '/'
> everyone,deny,jcr:read, '/', glob="/*"
> the same works for a non-root node.
