Tom dealt with the first part. I'll deal with this one. The initially
deferred refers to the the check time of the constraint, however to make
the constraint requires the table to be there. I think this is defensible
since you need permissions at the table constraint creation time on the
other table which is pretty much impossible if it doesn't exist. :)
