I was using twisted.web.static and not nevow.static and that mistake was
responsible for the cannotAdapt errors.

The webforms example worked after changing the ISimpleMethod class to:

class ISimpleMethod(TypedInterface):
    def simple(self, name=String(description="Your name."),
age=Integer(description="Your age.")):
        """Simple
       
        Please enter your name and age.
        """
    simple = annotate.autocallable(simple)


The Livepage example also needed a little touchup ...

class Live(LivePage):
    addSlash = True
    docFactory = loaders.stan(
    tags.html[
        tags.head[livepage.glue],
        tags.body[
            tags.ol[
                tags.li(onclick="server.handle('greeter', this.name)",
name="one")["One"],
                tags.li(onclick="server.handle('greeter', this.name)",
name="two")["Two"],
                tags.li(onclick="server.handle('greeter', this.name)",
name="three")["Three"]
            ]
        ]
    ])
    def __init__(self):
        livepage.LivePage.__init__(self)

    def handle_greeter(self, ctx, value):
        return livepage.alert("you've clicked %s" % value)

Most important was the tags.head[livepage.glue] addition.

Now that everything works, I can go on to the next step (pfew) ...
calling the client from the server with livepage, sessions,
authentication and experimenting with nufox XUL.
