OK -- I was rereading the thread again to see if I could glean that
insight. There was a comment buried in the thread with David's opinion
on that front, but no one had +1'd that.

However, if this is for feature completeness, I'll withdraw the closing
of the open item, but would strongly suggest we complete it in time for
Beta 1.

Looking at Pavel's latest patch, I do find the output easy to
understand, though do we need to explicitly list "empty" if there are no
membership permissions?

Thanks,
