Thanks for the feedback. I'm aware of Oliver's code, but I haven't had 
time to look at it closely. What's on the table is basically a straight 
implementation of Olaf's document which is the latest thing I'm aware of 
that came out of the usability people. I'm inclined to say that we 
should stick with the fully standardized implementation, since it 
discourages proliferation of application-specific roles. The good part 
is that new roles can be added in a BC manner if we decide it's warranted.

That said, any help merging in Oliver's work would be welcome :-).
