[support] permission to create unpublished pages?

[John Callahan]

Thanks Gordon.  Workflow or rules module is the next logical step but 
seems like a lot more work than it should be.  If a user has the 
privilege to create a page, you would think they'd have the right to 
decide when it's published or not.  Oh well...
