I just follow the tutorial.

The result is that the object has
meta_type 'Document'
and portal_type 'myNewType'.
This should be the way to use STI's.
(Or what ? did I miss something ?)

I guess that an STI is really just
(for instance) a Document, with another
portal_type.

Everything works correctly so far,
except the permissions-setting with
no workflow.

Workflow should be working on the portal_type,
shouldn't it ?

(I'm new around here, so please enlighten me...)
