Why not write it this way?

   <permission id="zope.View" msgid="view_permission" title="View" />

This would translate to two directives: connect the message ID 
"view_permission" with the permission "zope.View", and provide the 
English word "View" for the message ID "view_permission".

Then again, maybe permission IDs should also be message IDs.  It seems 
confusing to have both "zope.View" and "view_permission".
