So we're leaving it to plugins then to create a "Junior Author" or 
contributor role, which only allows the user to save drafts?

A lot of plugins are making use of registered, non-author users.  I 
think the following would be acceptable to the overwhelming majority of 
users:
* Registered
* Contributor
* Author
* Editor
* Admin
