Hello,

The user information is an independent object that connects to Zope user 
object. So we did not  extend Zope user object.
Zope user object takes only care of user authentication.

The reason why Zope import/export don't work is still unknown.  I think 
the reason might be in FLE's complicated object structure wich is 
network (Zope loves tree structures). We thought that it's easier to 
write our own import/export functionality than try to find out why 
Zope's import/export sucks with FLE.
