I think it's important to emphasize that this is implicit in object
ownership.

Looking at the page again, I notice that there's a para a little further
down that overlaps quite a bit with what we're discussing here, but it's
about implicit grant options rather than the right to DROP. In the
attached, I reworded that too, and moved it because it's not fully
intelligible until we've explained grant options. Thoughts?
