Seems like that would be more of a problem if the interface were exposed to
the portal user... as it is, it's a way to make a 'poor man's content class'
- extending the normal types with small effort, which seems like, though it
could lead to a mess, also could lead to rapid development...  e.g. the
extra properties become catalogable just by adding indexes to portal_catalog
(a simple ZMI operation).
