Thanks! I was about to conclude that "silence means assent" and
do that work, but you beat me to it. Your changes look fine,
except that where you have
+ ... A role can only attribute a grant
+ to another role if they possess the privileges of that role.
the word "possess" seems a little ambiguous --- it's not clear whether
it means SET or INHERIT privileges. The grammar nerd in me doesn't
like "they" either. How about s/they possess/it inherits/ ?
(likewise in revoke.sgml)

Agreed, seems like a task for another day.
