[development] Table node_access: Deleting rows filled with 0s for all 3 grants.

[Dave Cohen]

Keve,

My understanding is that you should not write the rows which grant nothing, as 
you state.  Regarding writing at least one row per node, even if it grants 
nothing, I'm not sure.  If you find that useful for checking integrity then I 
don't see it doing harm.

What is the expected behavior when a node has no grants in the node_access 
table?  I think either:

a) noone is allowed to view that node.  Or,

b) another module might write an entry to the node_access table.  That is, the 
user has two access control modules installed.

While (b) should remain possible, I think it will be rare.  More likely the 
user has made a node which noone can see, including themselves.  Is this 
really what they wanted?
