Good point; clearly people will want to override them, but I think
many of them could have useful fallback tips, and some purely generic ones
eg.
Generic: Undo, Redo, Cut, Paste, Copy, Find, Replace, Back, Forward,
Help, Home, Italic, Center, Fill, Left, Right, No, Ok,
Paste, Preferences, Quit, Zoom 100%, Zoom to Fit, Zoom In,
Zoom Out, Spell Check, Strikethrough
Less generic: New, Save, Open, Save As, Print, Print Preview ...

Well - I think using a word such as document would prolly be best
in many cases, or perhaps 'data' if we're Anal; or even just having a NULL
tooltip for these cases.
Convinced of the utility ? it's a real pain having standard
everything but tooltips :-) still gagging to make up a patch.
Regards,
Michael.
