 > I am not sure that this is really doable at this point. What would then
 separate an author from an editor?

 Remember: An editor may edit and publish '''any''' content, at least any
 post or page, even those not created by the actual editor. An author may
 only create, edit and publish '''own''' content. Even if authors are made
 able to create, edit and publish own pages, they will not have the ability
 to touch others pages. That's a huge difference.
