 > However, Thats not always the case, Take the 'create_users' value for
 example, It'll exist for super admin. you see, Theres a slight issue in
 that map_meta_cap is never run for Multisite super admins, super admins
 have ALL caps, even 'cap_doesnt_exist'

 should only have caps if their role has the cap. I believe this is
 currently a work around due to the lack of a "Super admin" role as such.

 Caps are stored by blog/site not by network (i.e. caps can be changed on
 individual blogs). Therefore, the super admin role does not rely on those
 caps. As it applies to this instance, the super admin would have to be
 added as an admin on every site/blog to maintain the super admin role.
