The ACL is dead (Talk at CUSEC by Zed Shaw)

Does anyone have a link to a similar implementation, library, or paper of the ACL replacement / rules engine Zed talked about?

I'm dying to dive more deeply into this, but have little domain expertise right now. Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

He literally implemented Sarbanes-Oxley with assistance from the lawyers who could read his Ruby.

Ie, if you want source code, get the legislation, make the objects it mentions, then write rules in the same order.

Thanks for replying.

I realize my initial request was a bit unclear. I'm not so much interested in the specific rules/legislation, but rather in a (canonical) implementation of a rules engine of that type. I get the basic functionality, but how does it come together elegantly?

sorry if it's a re-submission

Don't be sorry; people might have missed the original posting (or never heard of it). Sometimes, it is nice to see old posts.
