Interesting commentary from the Interfaces Wiki:

http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/Projects/Interfaces/ObjectManagerItem

"""Some old objects provide id methods that return ids. This practice
should be avoided for new objects. We can't change the old objects for
backward compatability reasons. Maybe we should fix this in Zope 3.0."""
