This works for me. I can just move the helper method, currently "return the
baseline copy, or self if this is not a working copy" into the helper view.
It should be easy to refactor LinguaPlone to take this into account without
an iterate dependency.

The translate_edit.cpy and validate_translate.cpy would also have to skip
most of what they do in case of a working copy. That logic probably belongs
in the helper view too.
