+1

of course, this makes sense only for privs 2 and up, as priv 1 is wide open

by the way, we still aren't using priv 2 anywhere

it was intended for "members" and -- in my opinion -- should have some
restriction, if only nominal

right now dan approves m.e.o accounts, and this is the type of thing that
priv 2 would cover

... although letting m.e.o account holders authorize additional m.e.o
accounts seems a little shaky
