Any more thoughts on this? I agree with you that the hardcoded  
approach above isn't nice but can't think of a nice way to square the  
circle where the add forms are registered for the container and not  
the new object.

Is it possible to do something with actions? Either by defining an  
additional category such as "add" on the objects themselves? That  
would be easy enough from the object's perspective but would conflict  
with the current lookup on the folder category. This shouldn't be too  
bad as this could be replaced by looking at the allowed_content_types.  
But I guess this might have the same complexity and performance  
problems as relying on IAdding.
