The CMF 1.5 version of typesinfo.xml doesn't contain the meta_type. My
plan was to parse old profiles as well, at least in CMF 1.6. I'll fix
the parsing of old types/*.xml files, it doesn't work right now.
Besides that those add views are work in progress - I plan to add
similar views for all tools. This will make changes in the shared code
necessary.

The adapter for the container is responsible for creating empty
sub-objects. So in this case the TypesToolXMLAdapter needs to know the
meta_type information to find the correct class.
The meta_type information in types/foo.xml isn't strictly necessary, but
it allows to see to which meta_type the XML file belongs and to check
the meta_type before applying an XML file to an object.
I also could imagine situations where we want to use those XML files
outside a profile that contains a typesinfo.xml.

Yuppie
