I just notices at the bottom of the user list there is note #4:


4. Users with privilege v inherit the combined privileges of developer, 
anonymous, and nobody.



Well, 'v' is 'Developer' - so I'm thinking it wasn't really meant that 
developers should inherit the privileges of developer.  Probably this is a typo 
and what was meant was this:



4. Users with privilege v inherit the combined privileges of reader, anonymous, 
and nobody.



This would resolve one of my comments below.
