Isn't this more of a DB Schema question?  

Don>    2. Similarly, should addresses be shared?

Sure, just have a "Many to one" schema decomposition in the DB and
you're all set.  It's not a problem having multiple records point to a
single address.  If a single record needs to change, you can prompt
about changing them all, or just the one.  If just the one, copy the
data to a new record and continue.

Just make sure there's an undo function. :]

I personally prefer the family view, since that's what I'm used to
from my Macintosh Reunion days stuff.  I've got some comments to make
sure, but I'll wait until gramps 1.0 appears in debian as a package
and I get a chance to download and take it for a drive.
