I just thought of something. What if you could could be a participant once with 
different options? So therefore if you create blip under "edit only" than blip 
is only yours to edit. Then if you want to create blip that is open to 
collaboration you use your incarnation with participant editing). There should 
be a simple way of switching between incarnations. 


There could be a edit only super where the default for participants is edit 
only. Depending on other supers (public/private) you may or may not be able to 
add yourself, or be invited under that guise. 


I think though could be a decent way of dealing with the blip level issue.

Yep that make sense. 

I was thinking "edit own only" after that. It would be nice to explicitly allow 
editing of your content to others. However blips don't have participant level, 
merely authors. "edit own only" has been asked for many a time. It is perhaps a 
bit archaic/antisocial on it own but has it uses. With explicit control of 
editing that would be really versatile addition. 


Also probably should be discussion about how AC is actually implemented. We 
have 

super users like public and they could have options, also users can have 
options, and the notion of who has to right to make changes to the AC, with the 
complication of the originator not necessarily being a participant.

I agree. Read-only should definitely be the third.
