It's on my slate of things to do -- actually, I'm intending that
each action will be able to provide the set of permission levels it
needs to check before authorizing access. For example,
?action=edit needs to check both 'edit' and 'read' permissions,
?action=auth should check 'auth', 'edit', and 'read',
?action=upload should check 'upload' and 'read',
?action=comment should check 'comment' (or 'append'), 'edit', and 'read',
etc.
In the meantime there's a simple workaround:
if ($action == 'source') $page = RetrieveAuthPage($pagename, 'edit');
requires 'edit' permissions to view the page source.
