See:

http://cvs.zope.org/Zope3/lib/python/Zope/App/Security/Attic/IAuthenticationService.py?rev=1.1.2.5&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup&only_with_tag=Zope-3x-branch

Wanna schedule a phone call to go over this stuff?

BTW, we've been experimenting with text-based colaboration models. 
For example, I'm fairly happy with:
 http://cvs.zope.org/Zope3/lib/python/Zope/Publisher/Attic/normal.clb?rev=1.1.2.2&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup&only_with_tag=Zope3-publisher-refactor-branch

Maybe this is a format that you could use to show interactions. If you like, 
I could do one of these for the bootstrap service defined in zcml.
