A factory is something you call to create an object (not only in Zope 3 
but also in Java land and others). I would expect to be able to call a 
PermissionFactory to obtain a permission. That's not the case.

We actually have the chance here to create Permission and Role 
components directly. There's no need for a detour so I don't think we 
should take a detour :).
