From a precision standpoint, however, I think "except" is a more clear term than deny as "except" implies a conditional on the previous statement where "deny" does not.
allow=foo without=bar ???

exclude?

I agree about the confusion.  I wonder what people would think of
"allow" and "except."

Heh, oops. The draft already has that. I still think it's a bad idea to use "except" though for the same reason. I agree with Hixie (over on #webapi) that using a homophone for the attribute name is not a good idea here.
