Nice, I didn't know that :-)

Of course it would be more logical for the "user" option if standard 
permission checking was done on the special device i.e. if user has read 
rights on the special, it can mount the filesystem (ro) and if it has 
write permission on it, it can mount the filesystem (rw). If the user 
owns the special device, he/she can already screw up the corresponding 
filesystem anyway imho. This way you could enforce a read-only mount.
