 While working on a multisite blog I've found that several capabilities
 have an _others_ version, but is missing on the `publish_posts`
 capability.

 This is important because you currently can't limit someone to publish
 only his/her own posts. It's all or nothing. Example: a newly added Author
 can publish a draft from the Administrator.
 It can also be seen as a feature the other way around: when everyone has
 only `publish_others_posts` capabilities, every posts has to get a second
 pair of eyes before getting published.

 **I suggest implementing:**

 `publish_posts` - Controls whether objects of this type __owned by current
 user__ can be published. Set as default capability of Super Admin,
 Administrator, Editor, Author.

 `publish_others_posts` - Controls whether objects of this type __owned by
 other users__ can be published. If the post type does not support an
 author, then this will behave like publish_posts. Set as default
 capability of Super Admin, Administrator, Editor.
