 Replying to [comment:5 DrewAPicture]:
 > ...Often, you'll have a photo editor or media person adding media to
 already-existing content. They don't need the ability to edit the written
 content but they DO need the ability to upload media and edit that media's
 metadata. And currently, you have to have the edit_posts cap to do that.

 Not sure this can be achieved without some kind of (advanced) plugin. How
 would a user insert media in a post without being able to edit that post?

 > What I mean be mutually exclusive is that editing posts is not the same
 as editing pages is not the same as editing media. They may all be
 structurally treated as post types but they serve very different purposes.

 Right. We are looking at that from different angles: from user
 trust/security point of view all of these require a "trusted user".
 Further granularity of permissions for different post types seems best
 handled by a plugin (as it is currently).
