FWIW, in Plone we rely on the adding view. If a new style factory is 
specified in the FTI a view of that name is looked up on the adding view 
of the container. This is from 
plone.app.contentmenu.menu.FactoriesSubMenuItem:


addingview = queryMultiAdapter((addContext, self.request), name='+')
if addingview is not None:
     addview = queryMultiAdapter((addingview, self.request), 
name=fti.factory)
     if addview is not None:
         return '%s/+/%s' % (baseUrl, fti.factory,)


We don't make any use of the Zope 3 menu directives.
