That's a bit of a strong characterization, and it seems to ignore the 
remainder of the mail that I sent out; specifically:

   1. Users have the ability to subscribe to any resources that the RLS

   2. (More Importantly) Provisions for delegation of authority are
      included -- they're just not in-scope for this document.
