 Replying to [comment:2 DrewAPicture]:
 > Editing posts and editing attachments/media are mutually exclusive...

 Attachments **are** posts too and have all capabilities as "normal" posts:
 post_content, taxonomies, meta, comments, etc. Think of them as built-in
 CPT. Also they are usually attached to a text (normal) post.

 In that terms I'm not sure how editing attachments and posts are "mutually
 exclusive". A user that shouldn't be editing posts (i.e. not trusted)
 shouldn't be able to edit attachments either.
