The (ro) feature of AccessControl extension is not exactly working as it describes.

On page http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AccessControl, (ro) can restrict a group's access to read only however it's only valid when the group is a mediawiki's group. When appending (ro) to a user grouplist, it doesn't working. The original design of this feature provides a finer control by appending (ro) to user name in user group definition page. 

Fix attached:
