How do you propose the override mechanism should work? Tags are called 
explicitly somewhere, whereas this filter would happen at page load time 
behind the scenes. Where would we override the behavior? In the form 
itself would seem to be easiest, but that would also end up making it 
effectively optional, as any malicious/mischievous user could override it 
and it thus couldn't be relied upon.

Similar question here. So imagine we set a global Filter directive. How 
would the catalog override it? Perhaps a pseudo-filter reserved name 
"none"?

In any case I think a catalog directive makes more sense. This kind of 
thing is exactly what we normally do in catalog directives. Making it a 
default in the Standard demo would have the effect of applying it nearly 
everywhere, and I'm not sure what benefit a global directive would add.
