(While thinking about this, I thought back to an
earlier discussion on
this list (or possibly wikien-l, can't remember now) about the fact that
there are essentially two types of categories: thematic and taxonomic.
For the former, the "tag" model of atomic categorization is quite
natural, but the latter would fit much more naturally into a strictly
hierarchical model. It might not be an entirely unreasonable idea to
formally split the two, perhaps even into separate namespaces, and apply
different technical approaches to handling them.)
Doing that would probably help in advancing with the system.
