First, I'm not trying to start a philosophical debate...there are so many
ways to manage one's tasks and it's very individual. (I'm not a big user of
Projects either, for reasons outlined in a recent thread). I'm just talking
about what makes the most sense for implementation.

I believe Next Action is a property of a task tree (it doesn't have to be a
project), not a property of the grouping or the filter, even though there
is a predefined view that uses this property. A next action is a concept
from Getting Things Done, defined is the next step that can be taken toward
completing a task.

...I just saw your follow-up email and actually that is what I was going to
propose. It would be nice in custom filters to allow limiting of results
within each grouping (AFTER applying the sort criteria). I would love to be
able to do this.

I would not suggest getting rid of Next Actions as a concept as it's pretty
key to GTD. Instead, I have commented before that templates should also
come with views (and workspaces, now) that support the template structure.
In this case I  would move the Next Actions *view* into the GTD template.
But right now that is not supported.
