About Names and Numeric Identifiers
Association of Names and Numeric Identifiers
It makes an important difference whether qualifiers are represented as names
or as id numbers. By storing names (and usually wasting space) it is possible
to control permissions in a way that is portable between uncoordinated
computers as long as the human readable user/group names are present on both
sides. POSIX File ID numbers make most sense in backups which shall be read
by the same system which wrote it.
Rock Ridge can only record POSIX File Ids but not user or group names.
The entry flag value 0x08 TRANSLATE is not a ACL entry of the hosting object
but rather a global hint about the relation of roles, names and numeric ids.
If it is recorded at all, then it shall be recorded with the first Directory

This has been revoked because ES entries serve the purpose to distinguish
AAIP entries from eventual "AA" entries of any other extension.
AAIP 0.2 with ER signature "AAIP_0002" allowed to announce and use a different

4 ACL_GROUP of arbitrary group, with name as qualifier
Their job was transferred to ACL_USER_N and ACL_GROUP_N which have numeric
