Comment (by kevinB):

 Replying to [comment:108 nacin]:
 >  * That capabilities.php is untouched in the latest patch is incredibly
 odd, to say the least. map_meta_cap() supports custom post types and needs
 to support custom statuses for both built-in and custom post types.

 The lack of change to function map_meta_cap() is explained by the patch's
 plugin roots.  It can be filtered to apply additional capability
 requirements based on $post->post_status (as demonstrated in the old
 status-helper.zip).  Maybe inelegant, but not '''that''' odd.

 >  * The "moderation" property is confusing and ill-defined.

 Call it what you want, the idea is to allow for multiple statuses between
 draft and published, rather than hard-coding 'pending'.  Each of those
 "moderation" statuses should have its own capability analogous to
 "publish_posts", as well as edit and delete caps.  API should also allow
 control of which status (i.e. "Reviewed", "Approved" or "Dissed") is set
 by the "Publish" button when the user cannot publish.
