IMHO any CMFUid-related bits should be in CMFUid only. Certainly
CMFDefault should not have any explicit or implicit dependency on CMFUid.

+1 for removing the Properties tabs. There should only be one obvious
way to set these values, and that should be in the portal itself and not
the ZMI. Besides, IIRC string encoding for edits in the ZMI may end up
different than edits from the portal-provided forms.

I would leave the Interfaces tab in place for now.
