No, I'll be with Zope2 for a while. I'm running an Plone site too and dont't
have the memory to run a second Zope3 instance.

I think my question is answered and I'm a little less confused now. :-)

When I heard the word "interface" I thought of something like a network interface,
which is the communication gateway to the entire machine if you address it from network:

- you physically connect it to the network by plugging a cable into the NIC
- you address it by calling an address which is assigned to the NIC.

actually all other devices on the network only see the target machine as a network interface
and don't know what kind of system it is plugged into until the methods the interface provides
trigger routines that reveal more information.

So, now I understand that interfaces in a the Zope2 context have some different meaning.

Maybe I should understand them as "pseudo interfaces".
