Thanks this is great! Maybe other skin designers will embrace this
approach if there are default pages with "action" links in the
standard distribution. This will definitely aid the use of action
lists across skins, but the biggest advantage in my mind is the ease
of customisation, and customisation of actions on a per group basis.

So I hope we can get two well-named pages, one for actions in the top of
the page, and one for actions in the bottom of the page.

There is still the problem of internationalisation. I asked about this
in a post yesterday, and will ask again:
Could it be possible to get the names of action links defined in a wii
page automatically translated similar to what is happening through the
XLPage function, by creating some special markup for it?
