I think SimplePrincipal might be this base principal. There is, for now, no
LDAPSimplePrincipal. At first I though I would create one but then I
realised it would require just the modification of the line
"implements(...)".

When I do the proposed changed, everything is working fine. Maybe to
make things clear we should rename SimplePrincipal to
ContainedPrincipal. If someone wants to specialize a Principal, it could
inherit from ContainedPrincipal and add interfaces or anything he sees
fit.
