Yes, it would be nice to have real permissions for sequences, specifically 
USE (which allows nextval() and currval()) and UPDATE (which would allow 
setval() ).   However, I don't know that the added functionality would 
justify breaking backwards-compatibility.

Oh, and Bruce, I can't imagine needing specific relkind so I think that 
part's fine.
