There's a slight difference, I think.  In the Zope 3 world, there's
usually one style that is considered to be the best way of doing stuff.
Only it varies with time and with individual Zope 3 developers. ;-)

If you pass the adapts/provides arguments to provideAdapter (or the ZCML
directive), the values you specify override the defaults declared by the
adapter itself.

they say if they had.
