Subclassing from model.Element seems to break persistence, maybe because
__setattr__ is bound to binding.Base.__setattr__ (line 42,48 in
model.persistent):

    class Element(DataType, Persistent):

        """A (potentially persistent) domain element"""

        __implements__ = IElement
        __metaclass__  = ElementClass
        __setattr__    = binding.Base.__setattr__

The call to __setattr__ in Persistence.Persistent seems necessary to
turn a ghost into a loaded object.

If I subclass 'Contact' from Persistent everything works fine.
