       The operator `+' causes the permissions selected to  be  added  to  the
       existing  permissions  of each file; `-' causes them to be removed; and
       `=' causes them to be the only permissions that the file has.

...the only permissions that the file has, for the category of users
selected.  I.e.
touch b; ls -l b

$ chmod u=r b; ls -l b
-r--r--r--    1 jidanni  disk            0 2003-01-12 08:59 b

whereas as worded one might think one would get -r--------
