Eventually, I expect that a Z3 schema/formlib based approach an Archetypes
will converge; for the moment, most people will still be way more productive
with straight Archetypes in Plone, because things like references, WYSIWYG

simple things, I've had some success wtih plone.app.content in Plone 3.
