New version attached.
Changes:
* Added documentation in catalogs.sgml
* Dropped "objsubid" from pg_ownerships since columns have no owner, only tables
Do we prefer "pg_permissions" or "pg_privileges"?
I can see "privileges" occur 2325 times in the sources,
while "permissions" occur only 1097 times.
Personally, I would prefer "pg_permissions" since it seems more common in general.
"database permissions" gives 195 000 000 results on Google,
while "database privileges" only gives 46 800 000 Google results.
If we would have consistently used only "privileges" so far,
I would vote for "pg_privileges", but since there is already a mix,
I think "pg_permissions" would be nicer, it's easier to get right typing also.
