+1 Sounds like a good idea to me and shouldn't be hard at all from he  
annotations side.
The stuff you are mentioning is mainly what John has been working on  
recently.

I called this kind of configuration "global configuration" in contrast to  
"entity configuration".
Not sure whether this a good term or not.
