zope.schema.interfaces tells a few lies

[Martin Aspeli]

I've been working on a package, plone.supermodel, which can serialize and de-serialize schema fields to/from XML. To do so, it looks at the interfaces describing a particular field to determine which attributes the field supports, relying on the self-describing nature of zope.schema.

Unfortunately, there are a few errors and omissions that would be nice to rectify:

 - The DottedName field does not have an interface. Thus, the min_dots and max_dots properties are not described anywhere.

 - IChoice omits to mention vocabularyName, which should be a TextLine

 - IChoice says 'vocabulary' is an Attribute. It should be an IObject(schema=ISource), I think, but Choice fields are a bit tricky.

 - ICollection specifies value_type as a Field. It should probably be an Object(schema=IField)

 - IDict specifies key_type and value_type as plain Attribute's. Again, they should be Object(schema=IField)s
