} Call it the 'default' worklist or something.

Certainly, make this list editable, but it doesn't quite serve the same
purpose as a "do not build" list, since it's global - you couldn't change
it to make a particular city never build coastal defense because it's on an
inland sea, for instance.

Also, I gather that once a city has been told to build from such-and-such a
global worklist, editing that list has no effect?  It would be nice (if a
bit tricky) to actually keep referring back to the global list when
choosing the next thing to build, so a player could edit the worklists of
many cities at once by updating their global worklists.  On the other hand,
it might not be sufficiently useful to warrent the effort (and might
actually allow players to stuff themselves up more easily)
