Ah, ok. For the most versatility you should use
the broadest URL possible => http://docs.google.com/feeds/.
Under that scope, the token will be valid for ALL of the DocList
feeds,
whereas something like http://docs.google.com/feeds/documents will
create
a token that's only valid for http://docs.google.com/feeds/documents/*
feeds.

Perfectly understandable. If you wanted to, you _could_ request a
token
that's only valid for a single document! Can you point me to
where the docs mentioned http://docs.google.com/feeds/documents as the
scope?

I think you're right. You should be able to construct a <feed>
with multiple ACL <entry>s. I'm tempted to file a public issue
(http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/list) but still want
to investigate first.
Thanks again,
