Exactly Michael's view and one I'm starting to lean towards.

However, I still prefer to put some of these Mundane talents on the sheet
.  Not every medieval villager knew how to ride a horse (manning the oxen
maybe). That was restricted to landowners. If a villager knows how to
Mundanely ride a horse, that should be noted.
