CMF uses the property label for configuration of relatively simple tools 
such as CookieCrumbler.  No thought was given to labeling instance-level 
properties, so there's currently no way to set up a label through the 
web.  I'm not sure we need that anyway, since at that point it's 
probably better to use Formulator.
