Yeah, I agree with Chris on this one. The point we need to make is that
the access control rules don't make any provision for identifying the
document submitter. Any system, metacat included, is going to need to
have special access rules for the submitter. It would be good if this
were explicit in the EML. As we are trying to fix the access rules
problems now, this seems like a good time to add the new field. I think
Chris is right that, conceptually at least, the submitter's userid
should be nested under the metadataProvider, which then brings up the
question as to whether metadataProvider should be required.
