Howdy.  With all the talk now about the cool new way of doing reviewing,
I thought I'd ask a question about a related use case.

Member authors Document, changes security to only let "Collaborators", a
role she defined, see the document.

A Collaborator goes to the URL and sees the document.  The Collaborator
then does a search of the site using a word in the document and sees the
document in the results.  Same for a Topic.  However, a regular Member
gets unauthorized when going to the URL, and can't search for the
document or see it in a topic.

Is this so, grasshopper?

Also, Mike does your new reviewing machinery handle the case for the
"Owner" role?  That is, can a Member see their own documents and search
for their own documents?
