I wonder how they can do something like that reliably in a cross realm
context.

Let's assume that the default userid for the first user created some
popular system happens to be 1000. Does this mean that if those people
install openafs they all implicitly have all rights to a file that is
chowned to 1000.

Of course chown could be modified to not only change the (possibly not
unique) userid of a file, but also add that user's (hopefully unique)
identity within a specific realm to the parent directory ACL.
