[Dovecot] dovecot-acl file questions

Hello,

playing around with Dovecot's v1.2 ACLs I wondered about some things about 
the dovecot-acl files:

+ They are created within the Maildirs, as described in 
http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL.

But why? Shouldn't they belong to the CONTROL= directories? So it is more 
compatible with filesystem quota.

+ They have 0666 permissions, but all other files (e.g. when I create a 
new mailbox) have 0660 permissions.

Are the permissions selected explicitly to allow "a"-right for other 
(system) users?

+ When one removes all rights, the size of the file drops to zero. The 
wasted space is no great deal; but how much processing is wasted if such 
file is present? I mean, the log says that the files are opened very 
regularily. Would it help to remove zero-size files?

Regards,
