I object to this change. HTTPRequest does not really fulfil the 
IBrowserRequest interface, and ObjectManager isn't a real IContainer 
either. I understand that somebody made a mistake when they declared 
them as such in the early days of Five. This is the reason we can't take 
it back. But, at least as a sign of the fact that they're not (yet) the 
real deal, this declaration has remained in ZCML.

A sensible step forward would be to make HTTPRequest a full 
IBrowserRequest (we're getting there). As for ObjectManager, I think 
IContainer implies a couple of semantics (such as unicode names, the 
sending of events, etc.) that we should look closer at before deciding.
