Hmm? A privilege is a property that is part of an ACL, which is itself a set made of object types, roles and privileges.
So, an ACL is a collection of composite typed things (grantor, grantee, privileges) and the type name for that composite type is "permission". That does clear things up, even if we tend to use privilege in cases where permission is meant.
