defer gives the client a temporary error code (45x), deny gives a permanent
one (55x). Apart from that, they are the same (i.e. processing of the ACL
stops and the error code is returned if all the conditions match).

Chapter 7 is just an overview of the configuration. All details of the ACL
system are in chapter 39. The expansion variables you can use are described
in chapter 10.
