We don't depend on zope.security and there is no C in the BFG security code itself.

Chameleon, I think you mean.

Malthe has expressed interest in removing the lxml dependency from Chameleon, 
but I think he needs funding.  Others have also expressed an interest in this 
and we'd probably kick in to a pool of funds towards this if you ever get to a 
point where it became something you wanted to do.  I really don't know how much 
effort is involved, but for the record, Chameleon only depends relatively 
shallowly on lxml (mostly for xpath expressions), and removing lxml will make no 
difference in rendering speed.
