Done quite a lot of Add Forms based on your work and we ended up  
extended the base view to implement form_fields and require the sub  
classes to provide the portal_type and the schema or list of fields.

     @property
     def form_fields(self):
         fields = form.FormFields(
                 TextLine(
                     __name__='portal_type',
                     default=self.portal_type)
                     )
         # allow sub-classes to pass in sequences of schema
         if isinstance(list, self.schema):
             for s in self.schema:
                 fields += form.FormFields(s)
         else:
             fields += form.FormFields(self.schema)
         return fields

I'm not sure if it's overkill to be able to handle a list of fields  
but we've found it makes views a lot easier to work with. What do you  
think?
