I'm a bit confused. The two implementations mentioned here don't use 
PropertySheets, they use PropertyManager. Reading 'propertysheet' in the 
subject I hoped there might be other proposals than those I know already.

None of the use cases I'm aware of requires the ability to add different 
properties for each TypeInfo / Action instance.

A CMFDefault site ships with 51 Actions. It's a nightmare to "record 
action-specific annotations" using the PropertyManager UI.
