I looked a bit into the code of z3c.layer.pagelet and it seems that  
you are right.
Only the ILogin interface is used there. (The ILogout interface is the  
one from zope.authentication which seems to be semantically different  
from the one in zope.app.publisher.interfaces.http.)
Although it is a bad idea to copy interfaces, z3c.layer.pagelet could  
reinvent ILogin if it is really needed.

Yours sincerely,
