Given that you can register adapters for any class, whether or not it 
implements any interface, this doesn't work as it should:

 >>> from zope.component import provideAdapter
 >>> def adapter(*args): pass
...
 >>> from zope.interface import Interface
 >>> class ITest(Interface): pass
...
 >>> provideAdapter(adapter,adapts=(None,),provides=ITest)

 >>> ITest(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: ('Could not adapt', 1, <InterfaceClass __main__.ITest>)

 >>> class test: pass
...
 >>> ITest(test())
...
TypeError: ('Could not adapt', <__main__.test instance at ...>, 
<InterfaceClass __main__.ITest>)

Where can I find the docs and interfaces you mention above? I looked 
through both zope.interface and zope.component and obviously missed them :-(
