I just now wanted to add a Published In property to the book/short story type. I got the "please log in with the right privilages" dialog. I don't have that privilege, but maybe right there would be a good place to put a link to a request for type editing privilege.
Or maybe it should offer a way to apply for privilege?

This is a good idea. At the very least we should explain how you get such privileges, since that information is buried deeply in documentation.

A couple of thoughts on this. First, we definitely shouldn't be offering edit options to people that don't have the rights to change things -- in general this is a bad user experience. Unfortunately, this may take some time to fix as the client team has suggested it isn't easy to do this kind of checking on page render.
Secondly, we definitely need to add features where you can request to become a domain administrator and suggest properties -- but in the interim I think that the discuss functionality can work for this purpose if we were to make it more obvious from the type editor and domain pages.
