[daisy] Safe way to share Field, Part and Document Types between instances of Daisy 1.5

[Robert Cecil]

Ok, Now I've switched to using Daisy 2.0-dev... (for other reasons).

I was looking at the pages regarding import/export and I don't see a  
clear way to flag either the import / export to work with schema  
alone. It seems you have to give it a list of actual document ids?  
I'm looking for a way to create to share a centrally versioned (SCM)  
schema for a team of devs working on a Daisy site.

Thanks!

Rob Cecil
