Indeed the use case I'm interested in, is the use case of dynamically changing the types at runtime. Ex/ I want to be able at runtime via an administration GUI to add/modify/delete document types like 'Medical certificate' with a series of custom properties attached to it.
So if I resume, it's not currently possible but you're thinking (and may be working?) on it. I guess you don't have any date? Fact is I'm currently evaluating some ECM products for our Document management project, and it is a strong requirement for us.
