i'm guessing that for at least the sys.user_privs it's so that when a
user grants and privs on any of their objects they can insert a row, or
if the change it update the row, or delete the row if they revoke it. i
think that's where the system checks if access is allowed to anyone but
the owner.
i'm sure someone will correct me shortly.;-)
