this helps, thanks.

the first thing i notice is that you're importing the schema parts from 
remember's member schema, but you're not copying them.  it's generally a good 
idea to do "schema.copy()" on an imported schema before using it, to ensure 
that you've got a completely separate entity from the originally imported 
schema, and don't inadvertently monkey-patch the base class.

the other suspicious looking piece is the following, from your member 
definition module:


# Lifted from Products.remember.content.member
# This seems rather magic!
metadata_schema = ExtensibleMetadata.schema.copy()
# Establish the field order
full_wimax_member_schema = wimax_member_schema + metadata_schema
# metadata_schema doesn't override any fields in content_schema
full_wimax_member_schema = full_wimax_member_schema + wimax_member_schema


that strikes me as very odd... essentially what you're saying is:

full_wimax_member_schema = wimax_member_schema + metadata_schema_ + 
wimax_member_schema

your comment implies that it was lifted from remember itself, though.  i 
checked, and sure enough remember does something very similar:

rossp, are you out there?  can you explain what the purpose of that change 
was?  it definitely strikes me as odd.
