One idea that has been kicked around is to impose some (shallow)
sense of hierarchy on permissions, so that you could at least 
hide sets you don't care about at the moment. So the UI could 
look something like:

+ Standard permissions

- ZooProduct permissions
  x Add Lions
  x Change Lions
  x Add Tigers
  x Change Tigers

+ FooProduct permissions

...

Note that this is _most_ important for Folders, where you end 
up seeing pretty much every permission in the system, currently.
