It means there's an access control list (getfacl / setfacl...).
You're right, the documentation should be way more obvious. "man ls"
should point to that.

Vic and Robert, thanks for pointing me in the right direction last week. I
really appreciated that.
I was familiar with acl in general, but had used it much so didn't
remember it, and was incorrectly looking in the lsattr direction.
Coincidentally, in the past week, I also realized that getfacl/ setfacl
was just the tool I need to save and restore tight web server file
permissions around updates (for piwik.org - it's a great FLOSS webserver
analytics tool if anyone need one) that requires webserver-writable file
perms during updates.
