I've got an idea for revamping pages.xml.  What if Page objects had a parent 
child relationship with each other, less specific matches parenting more 
specific children.  For attributes that can only have a single value 
(no-conversation-id for instance) if the value isn't defined directly on the 
child, it will call through to it's parent until a value is found.  For 
multiple values, like Page Parameters, the collections for each page in the 
hierarchy are combined, least specific first.

Actions would be treated like page parameters, and if I make this change I'd 
actually like add a nested  element as well so that more than one action can be 
defined per page.  I think this will be very useful for generic validations.

I also think an inheritFromParent flag would be useful in situations like the 
one I outlined above.  If you want to explicitly define the ordering of your 
page actions, you could just set it to true and redifine within the specific 
page.

What do you think?
