My concern here is to arrive at a standards conforming role system.  Clearly 
we've established that the current one doesn't do it.  Moreover, I'm now 
convinced that some aspects of the current implementation arose from an 
attempt to implement the standard but failed because of misunderstandings.  
I'd be interested to know what incompatibilities you have found in other 
database systems, so we know what we're dealing with.
