10.5: Share any files between users on the same Mac
This would work for the existing files in the directory, but probably wouldn't work for any new files. In my experience with POSIX permissions, when you copy a file into a directory, it will generally inherit the directory's owner, but it will not inherit the permission bits assigned to the directory.

Also, using the setuid/setgid bits can create security holes if any executable code is put into one of these folders. Whereas the ACL method would simply allow anyone to execute the code as themselves, using the setuid or setgid bits could allow privilege escalation by allowing anyone to run the code as someone else (e.g. as an admin, or even as root), making it possible for them to mess around with things they ought not to be able to mess around with.
