Like some other commenters here. Like the rules would cascade down similar to css. You might think that a read rule on a parent node would apply to a child unless that child overrode the that rule. But it doesn't. So you keep having to read the rules up the hierarchy to see who could ever read the node.

Sounds like the functionality we see configured in e.g. .htaccess files.
