Oops??? "rm" never asks unless you ask it to ask.

Not true. It will ask if you don't have write permission to the file, even if you are able to delete because you have write permission to the directory.

Does it? Indeed. Must be a GNUism. I bet this was't there in Unix v6 when I learned it ;-)

You are right, but this is still a special case where another, explicit protection is being overwritten.
