Library permissions
Neil, thanks for updates. A couple minor followups inline below.

I managed to figure that out after some experimentation

We'll need to have that discussion.  For example, the Naming Guidelines place
no constraints upon TC members as to the use or non-use of the substring
'spec' in a filename, whether that file(name) is associated with a designated
"spec-track" document or not.  Thanks for clarification about the current
non-implementation of the NG.  Any of my tests are likely to be based
upon minimum assumptions -- as in "this is possibly how the system would
behave out-of-the-box-without-without-major-obvious-changes".  It's
helpful to be able to see how KT behaves, even if the test install is
in limbo/transition.

Thanks.
