Cool.

The three sorts of exceptions that the verify methods will raise are  
'DoesNotImplement' (you didn't actually declare the object to  
implement/provide the interface; no name is appropriate),  
'BrokenImplementation', and 'BrokenMethodImplementation' (both of  
which include a name, AFAICT in the code).  Maybe you got a  
"DoesNotImplement"?  I could see how it might be confusing.

These sorts of questions should probably go to zope3-users, btw.
