Thanks for the reply.  I prefer this option to doing something like "move on
publish" because it seems like that opens a whole can of worms (e.g., if the
reviewer later retracts the content, do you move it back to the original
author's member folder?).

I seem to have it working.  What I ended up doing--based in part on your's
and Paul Winkler's suggestions--was to grant the following permissions:

  Access contents information
  Add portal content
  List folder contents
  View

to a custom role called "Authors" in the /pr/ folder.  I still don't know
how to restrict the allowed content types.

Slowly but surely...

Thanks,
