[STR New]

Continuing on from STR #2272, the following comment:

  # Only the owner or an administrator can cancel a job...
  <Limit Cancel-Job>
    Order deny,allow
    Require user @OWNER @SYSTEM
  </Limit>

is misleading because there is no authentication performed on the user
name, and 'cancel' has a -U option to supply a different user name than
the current one.

How about adding "Note: this is unauthenticated and may be overridden"?
