Not that I've tried this myself (yet).

Re: the ZopeBook example, I'd change the annotation adapter from
IPrincipal to IInternalPrincipal..

<adapter
   factory=".info.PrincipalInformation"
   provides=".interfaces.IPrincipalInformation"
   for="zope.app.authentication.principalfolder.IInternalPrincipal"
   permission="zope.ManageServices"
   />

I guess you'd also need to make the InternalPrincipal class annotatable,
  in your application configure.zcml, add...

<content
  class="zope.app.authentication.principalfolder.InternalPrincipal">
  <implements
    interface="zope.app.annotation.IAttributeAnnotatable"
    />
</content>

Also in the example the browser:editform directive should be changed
from IPrincipal to IInternalPrincipal.

Good luck.
