Good :-)

Then a CMFDefault excercising of these interfaces needs to be provided.
I haven't used CMFTypes but I like the idea, I just can't really stomach Plone's 
use of Javascript and CSS, so I'd like those to not end up in CMFCore ;-)

Where are these described? I haven't used them, and it makes me (hopefully 
unecessarily) nervous.

Well, I hope there'll be consensus on how to do this. Like I said, I have 
concerns because I don't use Plone for some good reasons, but if there's good 
lean infrastructure that can be taken from it, I'm all for it :-)
