I think this is pretty simple:

def makeAnnotationAdapter(for_, factory, key):
  @zope.component.adapter(for_)
  @zope.interface.implementer(IAnnotations)
  def annotationAdapter(context):
      annotations = IAnnotations(context)
      try:
          return annotations[key]
      except KeyError:
          ob = factory()
          annotations[key] = ob
          # to please security...
          zope.app.container.contained.contained(
              ob, context, 'foobar-whatever')
          return ob
  return annotationAdapter

getFoo = makeAnnotationAdapter(IFoo, Foo, FOO_KEY)


Perhaps I'm missing something?!?
