The metadata tool does not (yet, at least) have the responsibility
for managing the storage of metadata;  the underlying class of the
content type still needs to do this.  The tool's current job is
merely to manage the policies applied to the element (whether required,
default / allowed values, etc.)

I have pondered indirecting the storage of the attributes back
through the tool, but it hasn't been critical enough a need yet.

You could probably write Python Scripts which used 'manage_addProperty'
and 'manage_changeProperty' on your content elements to store values
on their "default" property sheets.
