[Zope] Subclassing File

So, perhaps I'm stupid.  I created a new ZClass and set its base class to
File.  I did think because I wanted to create a ManagedDocument that's like
a File but also keep track of a bunch of additional (dumb) metadata (like
Status, Author, etc.)  I added these items to a new property sheet, but now
I don't seem to be able to create any instances of this new object.  When I
do, I'm prompted for the id for the new object, but then get an error about
'title' being undefined.

So maybe I'm stupid; or maybe it's late.

Is there some reason why subclassing File should be less-straightforward
than just creating a vanilla ZClass without any base class (which works fine
for me)?

Thanks,
David
