see lib/python/OFS/Application.py lines 110-113 in zope 2.6.1 at least

 def PrincipiaTime(self, *args):
        """Utility function to return current date/time"""
        return apply(DateTime, args)
    ZopeTime=PrincipiaTime

Which is that

although the apply is not needed and it could be done with DateTime(*args) 
although why ZopeTime=DateTime is not set I don't know.
