The thing that I have heard many people wanting still seems impossible though - the ability to place a list of keynotes on each layout sheet which ONLY contains the keynotes used on that same sheet. (I suspect that Graphisoft would have to implement that kind of feature, as I do not believe that even the API gives 3rd parties what they need to dig into the views for each placed drawing on a sheet...?)
I believe the Cadimage keynote tool can do this.
I have never used it but saw a demo of it the other day and I am sure this was one of its features.

Thanks, Barry. Yes, it sure seems like Cadimage can do this! Their online help describes it here:
http://support.cadimageworld.com/0400-key-note-schedules
Says it can find keynote references in external drawings, too. It generates its schedules - whether a single one or one per layout - by going through the placed drawings... and thus will not put keynotes in the schedule for views that are not placed in the layout book. Nice. Sounds like one has to remember to manually update the keynote lists though, but can't tell for sure. They have 30 day free trials of all of their stuff, so worth a look.
(I didn't like the mention on the main page for this tool that Mac users needed Office 2004 in order to have Visual Basic macros - required for product functionality ...
http://cadimageworld.com/tools/documentation/keynotes
...with no mention of Office 2011 for Mac which restored macro functionality. Makes much more sense for people on Office 2008 to upgrade to 2011 than to downgrade to 2004.)
Thanks again for pointing this out, Barry!
