1.7 Alpha - help.properties and common topics

There are lots of funtionally similar screens in the system (eg print and email). For these I have been building CSH pages which simply refer on to a common page - see for example http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/csh/1.7/reporting/debtor/print

I have been looking at the help.properties file and see that the entries are in two parts, the 'lookup' part and the URL part, eg

act.customer*/print                     customer/print
act.customer*/print/email               customer/print/email
act.customer*/print/email/attach        customer/print/email/attach
act.customer*/print/email/attachFile    customer/print/email/attachFile

Is there any reason why we should not, for the screens that are 'common', set the URL to something common so that say we have

act.customer*/print                     common/print
act.customer*/print/email               common/print/email
act.customer*/print/email/attach        common/print/email/attach
act.customer*/print/email/attachFile    common/print/email/attachFile

and

act.patient*/print                     common/print
act.patient*/print/email               common/print/email
act.patient*/print/email/attach        common/print/email/attach
act.patient*/print/email/attachFile    common/print/email/attachFile

Thus different 'lookup' parts have the same URL part.

If this is not a stupid idea, tell me and attach the latest help.properties and I will do the required edits and sent it back.
