I was reading the quote below and misunderstood it to be referring to
the initial privileges (i.e. SELECT, INSERT, etc.) granted to the creater of
a table rather than to the ones that only the owner can use (DROP,
ALTER, GRANT, REVOKE, and others?). The section on the GRANT command
makes things clear. I am not sure other people would make the same mistake.
However, it might be helpful to list the commands covered by "special
privileges" in parenthesis.

From the database permissions documentation (7.3):
The special privileges of the table owner are always implicit and
cannot be granted or revoked.

Okay, I've changed it to try to clarify.
