Maybe.  Are examples?  Also maybe.  It's documentation, so specific
systems that use interfaces may want to be able to extend the kinds of
information they can associate with interface elements.

These are good questions, I think these also have a great effect on the
Zope 3 story.  BTW, the whole idea of extensible meta-data on an
interface element came from reading the Zope 3 story so far, and seeing
the examples that include security assertions in an interface.  Amos and
I discussed it a bit and that's where the proposal came from.
