What if there are very many (e.g. millions of) named 
graphs? It seems to me that creating and maintaining
the ACLs might be unwieldy and I also wonder about
overhead of checking against the ACLs when some operation
needs to take place.

A practical example might be for library catalogue
records, where each record gets its own graph. Records
from a particular source, say a national library we
might want to mark as read-only for unprivileged users,
whereas user created information like reading lists and
bibliographies should be writeable. A different use case
from the one that spawned this thread since it doesn't
involve completely separate table namespaces. Maybe it 
could be done with the clustering, where data held
in one node has the modify bits removed? Else solve
it at the application level...
