Inspired by <http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Web+UI+Mockups>, here's
my annotated mock-up screen-shot:

(I think my photostream's been marked as safe, again. Damned Burning
Man/Nowhere[1] photos.)

As for a spec, I think the loosely written comments, might explain it,
rather than me going through it wholly. That said, I'm more than happy
to elaborate/clarify.

I think the idea is:

    "I trust these people to admin that feature, so let them only do
    that (on this list: although the idea of having *global*
    permissions may be useful, in some cases, or indeed, the notion of
    grouping lists together (by domain, or site-administratively), and
    allowing these permissions for all lists within that group)".

Design isn't my strong point, either ;)

I've not used the ZMI for about 3 years.
