I just found out about this when a user complained she cannot rename files or folders in the Sharepoint document library. The business policy is not to allow any users to delete any of the uploaded files or folders, but renaming is allowed due to errata or incorrect labels.
Well, guess what? A research by the vendor's Developer revealed the fundamental access rights in Sharepoint are only 2: "Add" and "Delete". Therefore, to rename a file or folder, this access permission falls under "Delete" right.

Being no Sharepoint expert, I would have raised red flag with hand held high if I was aware of this design limitation during requirements gathering phase. Now, I am expecting my users to create fireworks due to this "feature".
