Products.CMFDefault.MetadataTool.MetadataTool actually has methods for
adding and removing "element specs" (which is what you want). The DTML
does not (yet) have any UI which uses these methods, although adding such
UI is pretty trivial. *hacks for about 15 minutes*. Yep, I can now add
and remove element specs on the "Properties" tab of the tool. I will check
the changes in shortly; in the meantime, see the diffs below.

You should be able to delete it freely in the ZMI; adding one is trickier,
as you have to know that it is contained in the "CMFDefault Tool" "jumbo
factory."

There was a private method, '_listAllowedVocabulary'; I made it
public, removing the '_'. Thanks for the suggestion!
