On the other hand, you would probably want all object types in one sheet
share similarly-named properties. Maybe we could allow the definition of a
'defaults group' within which defaults are shared? Either per-object type
or per-property. Or maybe just have each sheet share properties.

I see what you mean. I don't see much reason to change this.
