is the one I just tried, with 2 beds and a tshirt.

It's hard to verify this as there's no cost per room/bed specified as 
far as I can determine...

In a way it's a bit peculiar I can use the same process to *only* book 
one conference registration, but arbitrary amounts of beds. :)

Definitely, I'd get uncertain and may not proceed on the accomodation 
page in particular. Rooms? Beds? What if I want one bed in a two bed 
room? What do I do then? Things like that.

The food preferences box is also completely mysterious to me. :)

Please see the text I wrote in my message yesterday. I think it's 
slightly out of date, but it's way better than what it is currently. 
Seriously, try to read this:

"""
If you want to change anything about your registration please join the 
site as a member. Click on join now, a new membership will be created 
for you the password will be: 12546 This only means you join this 
conference site, nothing more. So please join now, or follow the link in 
the email with the registration-info we sent to you.
"""

The first join now is not a link (but bold) and the other is a link.

As someone who makes his living doing Zope stuff and has had experience 
with Zope (though not Plone and Archetypes), I can sympathize. :)
