Although the Bodington permissions system is a little complex I'd tend 
to agree with Aggie here. Added to the fact that we have people using 
SEE/VIEW access this way here at Oxford so removing it would cause problems.

See and view are independent.

see = Can see the resource in the parent listing.
view = Can view the resource.

I see the removing of a link as an "optimization" for the user so they 
don't have to click on the link to find out they don't have VIEW access.
