Hobbs you are correct

I have seen ARP ACL used in case of Dynamic ARP inspection only .

Well MAC ACL have more usage .. can be defined and used in a vlan
access maps ( Rememeber in a vlan access map we can use a IP access
list or a MAC access list ony ) . MAC ACLs can be used to match based
on ether types and some legacy types ( like DEC-spanning etc etc )
