It's already possible for a user to see an app's permissions - though it'd be nice indeed if the list could be organized the other way (contributions welcome).
At least anecdotally, though, we've noticed that users (even sophisticated ones) don't associate poor battery life or control over some of the core aspects of their phone with permissions (so the point of how fine-grained the permissions are defined or how verbosely they're worded is pretty moot): for a certain category of settings, our anecdotal evidence suggests that users don't expect any application to be able to change such settings without asking for permission each time.
