Thanks.

Yes, it is. See zope/app/workflow/stateful/configure.zcml; in its content 
directive we tell it that the class implements ILocalUtility.

I am positive it works without any programming. I brought the workflow state 
to its current state and the cookbook examples work with a CVS checkout from 
about January. Now, everything that does not work now is due to API changes, 
which I will fix, once school is done.

You do not have to. It will grab the next site it finds, which is the root.
