It's not always accept or deny that is returned... You can have "defer"
or "drop" for instance. How would you invert that in your nested acl?! ;-)

P.S. I've never seen nested acl's that where negated. There is no
example about that in the spec (or in my exim book), so I would assume
you cannot do that, but I'm not sure.
