[OpenAFS] directories in afs have "owners"?

Hrm, this is strange.  I thought there was no concept of
file/directory "ownership" in AFS (only "a" rights as a
psuedo-equivalent).

But I was reading through the user guide and came across this:

  http://www.openafs.org/pages/doc/UserGuide/auusg009.htm#HDRWQ78

What does "...you own the directory..." mean?  This can't possibly be
the faked-up UNIX owner uid -- those don't match up with PTS ids.  But
if that isn't the case, how do I display and modify this extra
"ownership" attribute on a directory?

Confused,
