looked at this a bit with Ton, and he confirmed that actions make sense to be 
like that - they are generic 'ipo bags', that exist globally by themselves.

was planning to proceed with the NLA to get strips, 'cause thought that i need 
to create strips for the generated animations (using pre-made actions) for 
the secondary movements in the movie, but now learned that actually dont need 
them: poses are properties of Object, and i can just use them for the 
animation control. 

so am in no hurry with NLA/strip functionality anymore, but would add Action 
to get actions, and then add Object.pose and new Pose type with a method like 
pose.fromAction(action, frame, factor)

am open to comments of course, and do still think that those other changes 
should be done too before we freeze the api for release..
