[Zope] Add "type > myzClass" does not have a property for title?

[Trevor Toenjes]

Thanks Laurie,
It's interesting...sounds like you create a live-variable 'title' property.

I will have to see how it behaves with <dtml-var title_or_id>.
This seems to run counter-intuitive of using this basic DTML property.

I figured there was some reason title is not forced in zClasses.
as I am reminded of a saying about..."FOOLISH consistency   ;)

I would love to hear some other alternative uses of 'title' in zClasses.
