(i'm not a news developer, just trying to use it.)

i've never added a silva object trough the zmi so i cannot comment on 
this one.

this is a known bug. i've learned so far that silva folders and silva 
publications shouldn't be available at all as addables in a news 
publication (now the question arises: how should i structure my news? 
multiple news publications?).

i'm guessing that silva news is not yet fit for this (but not far 
away). this problem also arise when you have a deep virtual host 
situation. as i understand at the moment you can only define target and 
subjects in the silva root. therefore, these settings apply for all 
virtual hosts and of course for all silva news publications within one 
silva root.

i think that silva news should use the settings from the "nearest" (by 
acquisition) service_news and not from the one in the silva root 
(service_files is a working example for this). if this works you could 
define different targets and subjects for each news publications and 
everybody is happy;-)
