"Ex nihilo dixit quod libet", as we used to say in latin and in maths. Sorry if say something stupid, but I cannot see why it is fine. Well, if I issue a "REVOKE" and the rights are not revoked and could never have been because I have no right to issue such statement on the object, I tend to call this deep absence of success a "failure". If I do the very opposite GRANT, I have a clear "permission denied". I wish I had the very same error on REVOKE, because for both operations you should need to be either a super user, the owner or to have a relevant grant options? Look at the very same with unix: sh> chmod o-r /tmp/ chmod: changing permissions of `/tmp/': Operation not permitted If you want to call that a "feature", I disagree without further strong argument, and anyway the documentation should be clear about that.
