Concerning the docs at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/sql-grant.html

Obviously for historical reasons the syntax in a number of places still
reads
" /username/ | GROUP /groupname/"
instead of
" //[GROUP] /role//name/"
(Allthough I would change that.)

However, the example further down is not correct any more:
Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges

--------+---------+-------+-----------------------------------------------------------
public | mytable | table | {miriam=arwdxt/miriam,=r/miriam,"group
todos=arw/miriam"}

There is not "group" in the ACL list any more (at least I don't see it
in my 8.1 or 8.2 databases). It should read:
Schema | Name | Type | Access privileges

--------+---------+-------+-----------------------------------------------------------
public | mytable | table |
{miriam=arwdxt/miriam,=r/miriam,todos=arw/miriam}

Also, I suppose to substitute
uname=xxxx -- privileges granted to a user
group gname=xxxx -- privileges granted to a group
with
rname=xxxx -- privileges granted to a role

Regards
Erwin
