Defining a principal by node property

Hi folks,

the IETF draft on WebDAV ACL defines a way to define the principal
for an ACE by node property. The way I see it, there should be a
possibility to tell the WebDAV server to try to match the current
user to the principal stated in, say, the owner property of the
node being accessed. Yet I wonder if this feature is currently
supported by Slide:

So far, I wasn't able to find any pointers on how to specify a
permission statement in the bootstrap data file accordingly,
because using 'subject="owner"' sure isn't the way to go...

Bottom line is: how do I define a principal by reference to
a node property rather than naming it explicitly?

Any help on this is highly appreciated.

If my question needs further clarification, just tell me and
I'll try to rephrase it...

Regards,

Michael Plomer
