That's a realy problem.  zope.interface works hard to deal with proxies, but 
it probably only works with proxies based on zope.proxy.

This only works if there's only one interface system.  As soon as there are 
multiple systems at work in parallel (possibly because different libraries 
require them, even if the app doesn't care), this is going to get quite 
complex.

I wish I had some good insight on how to deal with this, but I don't.  Jim 
Fulton might have some ideas since he dealt with all this for zope.interface.  
He's likely pretty busy right now, though.  (And I don't know if he's on this 
list.)
