Mmm... if you deactivate and reactivate a site, you must have

Thanks - that worked.  What is still puzzling me though is the
asymmetry, because deactivation worked with Read only on root, but
activation didn't - I would expect them to have the same requirements
in this respect.

Yes, it's one of the conundrum we end up in whenever we tackle the issue of ACLs. Deactivation is nothing else than a remote deletion, and activation, a remote addition. Deleting is consider a "write" operation on the node operation you're deleting, and adding a node is consider a "write" operation on its parent.

What disadvantages might giving this higher permission have? I confess
I haven't found any yet.

Your users are now probably able to create new top-level nodes (but as far as I can tell do nothing in them).
