Well. This was not my *latest* idea. I tried to implement it that way, 
but that approach has some limitations:

- While we want to get rid of z2 interfaces in the long run, this 
requires to add z2 interfaces to Zope.

- You did use schema fields for the z3 interfaces. Backporting these 
interfaces to z2 interfaces is a regression.

- It's not as easy to import bridged interfaces as to import static 
interfaces. We have to make sure they are already created.

Please see me new proposal, posted today.
