Can you point me to some examples? Looking at the default CMFPlone 
profile I couldn't find any. Repeated definitions for 'view', 'edit', 
'download', 'external_edit', 'history' or 'references' Actions look 
quite redundant to me.

Note that a don't propose to give all types the same set of Actions. I 
just propose that using Actions with the same ID means using the same 
settings. And the target of the Action can be set per type by modifying 
the aliases.
