Ideally object creation would happen in a more z3 schema-ish way, so that at 
least a core set of attributes would be edited before object creation.  
During object creation an INameChooser adapter for the container can be used 
to generate the title from the entered value, either triggered by an 
ObjectCreatedEvent, or done explicitly in the Adding code.  The latter 
method is the default for Five's Adding view, and is used in plone_schemas 
to do optional title -> id auto-renaming for z3 schema objects that want to 
be included in plone.
