Martijn and I basically had the same idea when we implemented XML Schema 
interfaces at the LLN sprint. See 
http://cvs.zope.org/Zope3/src/zope/app/xml/README.txt?rev=HEAD (this 
corresponds very much with Jean Jordaan's reply, too).

At the sprint, Martijn kept joking about how dotted names really are 
abbreviated URIs (like: a web browser understands the abbreviation 
www.zope.org and expands it to the URI http://www.zope.org). Now that 
you mention this direct association between interfaces and URIs, it 
doesn't seem that far fetched anymore, does it?

This calls for a proposal. If Marcus could provide a well defined 
UseCase, then maybe we (Shane and I) could write something up?
