InfoPath - the operation could not be completed and can not open Document Infomation panel

I recently discovered a couple of interesting things regarding SharePoint and InfoPath while creating a custom Document Information Panel 
  1. If you are trying to connect to a list or library on a site collection that is on a managed path you MUST also have a site collection on the root otherwise InfoPath will not let you connect to the library, and will give an error “The operation could not be completed”.
  2. If you are creating a Document Information panel for a content type that you have deployed via a feature, then your columns MUST have StaticName and SourceID.  Without them your columns will work perfectly fine until you try to open the DIP, then it won’t open.
