This is part of a bigger issue, namely that we cannot
* return detailed access denied messages
* return details to the user what role is needed for certain
permissions (lfor example "log in or register to post comments" should
be "only %role can post comments")

Currently, if someone without access to the full html input filter
prepares a page needing this format (for instance due to embedded
images), two things happen:



* while the page is in mod queue, it remains as "filtered html" and
does not display the img elements 
* when someone removes it from mod queue and applies the "full html"
filter, the permission is not granted to the page author for that
filter, while, the node/ page does not display the edit tab, and a
non-explicit "access denied" message is returned for node//edit because
the user does not have permission for that filter

Unless a way to have the content filter authorized on a per-page basis,
a useful workaround would be to at least return an error indicating
whence the access denied error comes, in that case the content filter
permission.
