I recently spent about an hour struggling with an Interface schema used
to construct the usual add and edit forms.

1) On a Text or SourceText field (and presumably others, but I haven't
checked), if you set both a 'default' and a 'missing_value' (that are
identical), the add form does not pre-fill the field. A workaround in my
case is to make a trivial difference between the two values. This
strikes me as being an overly helpful misfeature. 

2) I have not yet found a way to set a 'missing_value' on an Int field
(for example 'missing_value=0') without causing an error:

 ConfigurationError: ('Invalid value for', 'class', "(None, (<type
'int'>, <type 'long'>))")

I suspect this one is an actual bug.
