Permission to enter Class D airspace??? It has been a while since I've
flown in class D (or C) airspace, but I don't remember ever needing
'permission to enter'. [...]

IMHO, you are being needlessly pedantic.

One of the responses a controller (Class C or Class D) can give you is
"remain clear". This denies you access to the airspace, and without a later
transmission from them telling you that you may enter, you may not.

I call this "permission". I don't know what you call it, but the fact
remains that you need that permission.
