Thanks Florent!

Actually, MemberData is kind of a weird subject.

Its interactions with the underlying user folder are a little odd and 
lack clear policy. Some things are written out to the user folder, 
others stay in the wrapper. Most things are looked up in the wrapper 
and sometimes create inconsistencies with the actual user database if 
it gets updated without the CMF knowing.

Maybe I could try and think of an extension that allows you to specify 
what gets written where (and looked up where), some simple ZMI UI on 
the MemberDataTool. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
