LOAD DATA LOCAL permissions - is there a per-user GRANT capability?

It seems that LOAD DATA LOCAL is enabled or disabled on a
per-server basis. The argument for disabling LOAD DATA LOCAL
was to prevent "SQL injection" attacks on web sites. Given that,
it ought to be possible to disable it for some SQL userids
(the ones used by web applications) and enable it for
ones used for loading data. Is that possible? If not,
it should be.

It should be something controlled via GRANT.
