When you modify schemas, you need to restart CCE:
	/etc/rc.d/init.d/cced restart			or
	killall -HUP cced

As for default values, you still have to load those manually.  Your php
page should query CCE, and use the current data as current values for
fields.

Using conf files directly also leads to code that can't adapt to new config
file formats, and UIs that are very fragile to changes.

Sausalito is designed from the very start to make the UI (ANY UI, be that
web-based, LCD-based, or palm-pilot based) seperate from the backend files.
