Thank you for the feedback. I've taken it into account and come up with a partial rewrite of my first pass, and posted it to -hackers so we can close this thread out.

Ok, you want to describe that in more detail. But you should preserve the <firstterm> when the term is used for the first time.
Yeah, I need to get better at looking for and applying semantic markup.
Note that the documentation is careful to avoid the term "privilege" when speaking about the latter: below, it says "The *right* to modify or destroy an object is inherent in being the object's owner".
We should leave that as it is.
Agreed. I was going for "first encounter clarification" only, not intending to define the term fully. I've taken a different approach with the new patch - not redefining the main term but adding appropriate qualifications for limited use in learning how things work.
I think we should say "owner" instead of "recorded owner". Also, is it necessary to detail to the level of system catalog columns?
Agreed, with the overall flow of the content and context improved that specific sub-paragraph can be made much simpler without loss of clarity.
