I am not yet sure.

  In Zope3 terminology "zope.publisher provides IHTTPRequestType"
  would mean the object "zope.publisher" (which probably is a
  module) has all methods and attributes specified in "IHTTPRequestType".

  Probably, you do not mean "provides" in this sense but instead
  in the standard english sense: to indicate the module
  "zope.publisher" contains/defines an interface "IHTTPRequestType".


  The next stumbling block is "IHTTPRequestType". What interface
  is this: which methods, which attributes -- or simply a marker
  interface?

  If the name is well chosen, then the various types
  would be "browser http request", "xml-rpc http request", "soap http
  request", ....
  These things you would like to distinquish by your "IHTTPRequestType"?
