I'd almost think that what we want is to change default category display. If we have "Cancer Deaths", with a child subcategory of "Lung Cancer Deaths", with a child subcategory of "Lung Cancer Deaths due to Smoking", it would be nice if instead of a pile of category stuff at the bottom, we just had one line per category with the bottom category, intermediate ones, and top one listed per line. So one line with "Cancer Deaths -> Lung Cancer Deaths -> Lung Cancer Deaths due to Smoking", all appropriately hotlinked.
We have the screen real estate to do that.
