No, I was serious about this. Autogenerating node types from some kind of UI 
definition is not a good idea. Just try to start with nt:unstructured and go 
from there, with JCR there is no need for schemas (= node types). 
Autogenerating implies that it will change and changing schemas is difficult 
with any database solution.
