I just can't see any reason why there is an 'Add portal topics' 
permission but no 'Add portal document' or 'Add portal link'.

If each content type would have its own add permission, we would not 
need 'Create content' at all. But on the other hand, I want less 
permission names, not more.

For creating topics you need:
   'Add portal content', 'Add portal topics', 'Create content'(TI)
For creating documents you need:
   'Add portal content', 'Create content'(TI)

It's not consistent, but I can live with it.
