After reading this http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?...=0#entry1748804 I got to wondering if IPB 3's permission system will be capable of addressing some people's needs for more specific forum permissions, basically I'm asking if it would be possible with IPB 3 to make mods that easily add extra permissions to IP.Board or any of it's components for that matter.

I hadn't thought of using it that way, but yeah, that should work just fine. It's not quite as smooth as other mods, since that would require you to edit the permission config file, but it would work.
