Alright.  I've thought about this some more and I think I agree with it.
A user doesn't implicitly have all rights on his own oid, but I guess
that wasn't ever really the case anyway (can't give himself superuser
rights, etc).  I'll begin working on this soon (possibly as soon as
Thursday evening) unless someone else has comments on it.
Thanks,
