The man page for chmod(1) in GNU coreutils 5.3.0 states:
"When the sticky bit is set on a directory, files in that directory
may be unlinked or renamed only by root or their owner."
You should add to this: "or by the owner of the directory".
Here is the corresponding bit of the man page for stat(2) on a Linux
system:
The `sticky' bit (S_ISVTX) on a directory means that a file in that
directory can be renamed or deleted only by the owner of the file,
by the owner of the directory, and by a privileged process.

Alan
