This is the normal Zope way of doing things. 

The CMF way is to call container.invokeFactory(). For Portal Folders,
it's the same thing as the Zope way, however for other types defined
in the Types Tool it is not (because _setPortalTypeName and the
workflow notifyCreated would not be called).

In general when working with CMF, invokeFactory is always the safe bet.

What do you mean by "set a content filter arbitrarily at folder
creation time" ?
