I'll note what you didn't.  ;-)  This works for ClockServer because
you're adding a server type, and those are already allowed in the Zope
configuration.

This doesn't cover the case of a section that isn't an
"implementation" of an abstract section type already accepted by the
Zope configuration (log handlers, servers, databases, storages...
that's all I can remember off the top of my head).

The general case of being able to add a section (or anything else)
isn't covered by the current implementation.
