Well, I'm at a loss. I tried a bunch things myself, and I've found out that 
instances of the Article class are not inheriting __ac_permissions__  from 
the Posting class. In fact, even if you override __ac_permissions__ in the 
Article class, the validate() method is reporting there's nothing there. What 
I don't understand is, SquishSite works, and SquishFile works, what's so 
different about the Posting/Article classes?
I thought all one had to do was inherit RoleManager, and set everything 
properly in __ac_permissions__ ? Or am I totally not getting the 2.2 Security 
model? Do you know what's going on here?

You mean begin Squishdot: The Next Generation (SquishdotPTK)? :-)
