Following the file mode bits is a single character that specifies
whether an alternate access method such as an access control list
applies to the file. When the character following the file mode
bits is a space, there is no alternate access method. When it is
a printing character, then there is such a method.
GNU `ls' uses a `.' character to indicate a file with an SELinux
security context, but no other alternate access method.
A file with any other combination of alternate access methods is
marked with a `+' character.
I missed that because it's different in the F10 version of ls:

For a file with an extended access control list, a `+' character is
listed. Basic access control lists are equivalent to the
permissions listed, and are not considered an alternate access
method.
