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.
