What I don't like about relying on GRANT is that the table owner gets to bypass all that, as does a superuser. So when I'm serious about an operation (insert, update or delete) not happening on something, I put a trigger in place. Obviously a table owner or SU can always disable that, but they can't do it accidentally. I would love the ability to restrict operations both at a table and a column level.
BTW, John, you mentioned RULEs elsewhere... be very careful about using those. They're incredibly easy to get wrong and generally not worth the trouble.
