 > Moving the roles to a separate table, implementing the functions you
 mention, and not going out of our way for caps directly associated with a
 user (without an intervening role), seems like a good-enough solution that
 removes the biggest problems with the current arrangement.

 Why move the roles to a separate table when you can use the taxonomy API?
 I have an idea on how this could be implemented and the problem is as such
 that I'm willing to put forth an effort to prove my assertion.
