I'd like for there to be an option to share Tag Types, Source Types,
Styles, and what not among datasets or even among projects. While I can
imagine situations where one would want these to be separate, it seems to
me that more often one would want to use the same templates, so to speak.
I've got three projects, two of which have several datasets each, but while
only two datasets really get much use (the other datasets are imported
material that might eventually prove useful), I'd like to have the same
tags and such available for everything. What if I had finally gotten my
Source Types set up to my satisfaction (that'll be the day...)--I'd
certainly want these miracle Source Types available for everything. As for
Tag types, it's very easy to ignore whatever isn't useful for a particular
dataset/project.

If I were a professional genealogist with many projects, I'd feel
especially strongly about wanting to have my working tools available while
keeping the projects separate.
