Per-node access doesn't change Role Access Control text [#1295686]

Dear,

Why is it that when I set per-node access control on a specific content type that the Access Control Settings page still displays the setting as if it were editing permissions on the entire content type? Shouldn't this scenario make it read " View/Edit/Delete THIS article content ". The current way it's displayed causes confusion amongst my users.

This is one of my major gripes with this module, not to mention the confusing layout of the interface. The labels should be clearer, and it can simply be laid out in a table, as such:

Role	View	Edit	Delete
Content Author	[ ]	[ ]	[ ]
Anonymous	[ ]	[ ]	[ ]
Authenticated	[ ]	[ ]	[ ]
Role 3	[ ]	[ ]	[ ]

This allows the V/E/D Own to be rolled into its own row, and greatly simplifies the interface and the number of checkboxes that need to be there, plus is makes sene both in the content-type wide screen as well as on the node-specific screen. (As a side note, this is similar to how the Node Access module displays its configuration)
