I don't think designers will have to touch Python. I don't even think they will often touch ZCML.

I think ZCML is addressing people who build packages, people who make applications out of these packages and people who deploy those applications. I think in all three cases we can assume enough experience with Zope and Python to expect them to enter, say, a dotted name. And, of course, these people typically overlap.
