[development] D6 Node Access, Was: D7 small survey: listing of node types at /node/add

[Moshe Weitzman]

this is unrelated to node access. it is menu callback access. yes,  
this is confusing.

D6 has no node access api improvements. there is one patch waiting for  
D7 which allows deny grants which are useful when running multiple  
node access modules. See http://drupal.org/node/196922
