This doesn't make sense to me.  And reading the manual doesn't really
clear up why it doesn't work:

---snip---

mysql> show grants for yahoo;
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for yahoo@%
|
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, RELOAD, PROCESS,
FILE, REFERENCE, INDEX, ALTER ON *.* TO 'yahoo'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY
PASSWORD '4c48ca8b65e5ce53' |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> revoke UPDATE on mysql.* from 'yahoo';
ERROR 1141: There is no such grant defined for user 'yahoo' on host '%'

---snip---

What IS the right syntax for revoking a single privilege on a single
database once a user has global permissions?

Hopefully I'm just missing something really obvious...
