 Use Case = comments 6 & 7 here -
 [http://studioslice.com/2010/04/18/community-submitted-news-ver-11-is-
 out/]

 Plugin is in repo here - [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/community-
 submitted-news/]

 Looks as if plugin authors are using the admin-only check to validate form
 submission by non-registered users.  I've seen this on a couple of other
 plugins too, but can't remember their names as it was pre-WP3
