My main goal is to keep the nodes from showing up in the node/add list 
and from being created .  To additionally keep them out of the menu 
would just be a bonus for me.  I could just put in the README.txt for my 
module that admins should remove these node types from the menu, but it 
still wouldn't keep clever folks from hand-entering an inappropriate 
node type and creating inconsistent node structures.  I was attempting 
to override the various node/add/$type paths to set the security on them 
explicitly.  This is not working, however.

I wish there were a way around this other than patching core modules, 
but I have yet to see a way around it other than modifying 
node_access('create',$type) to look elsewhere before invoking 
hook_access('create',$type).
