Schema based forms are not dependent on CMF in Five, but work in pure
Zope2, I'm happy to say. Except for the unicode problem, that is.

CMFonFive currently produces two benefits.
1: "Just a small five_template that bridges the slots to those
available in the default CMF main_template." :-)

2: Mapping between menuItems and actions.

I'm also checking out making a new portal type info to remove some
double registration of some information.

Hmm. I haven't thought about CMFSetup, that might be an alternative to
having a new ZCML directive. But in any case, default view and actions
already have ZCML-alternatives, (five:defaultView and broswer:menuItem
respectively) so those should preferrably be used instead.

Yup.
