This would be an entirely optional dependency. The code would work 
without zope.security being available, just takes zope.security into 
account when it's there.

Note that the 'zcml' extra already depends on 'zope.security'. I'm not 
exactly happy with that though - perhaps it'd be better if it also was 
an optional dependency?
