Daft question but isn't this an administrator's issue? Forcing a complete
override of umask isn't usually considered a decent, friendly thing to do and
the sys admin can change the permission bits.

Besides, what was the proposed scheme? user/group writable world not I presume.
I wouldn't even know how to port that to un unixy systems like Win32.
