The number is the site identifier. Because in Jahia each site has a 
different set of users, that may be shared among sites. It is possible 
to have the same name in two different sites, representing two different 
users, for example bill:1, bill:2

ACLs are by default inherited. If set to neutral, it means that they 
will inherit whatever property is on the parent ACL. If set to YES or NO 
then it will define the property. A yes/no value can be represented with 
a bit, but a NEUTRAL/YES/NO can only be represented with a tri-state 
(meaning it can have three states). We use two bitsets to define 
tristate sets, and ignore the fourth possible value.
