Excellent assessment, Steve. The question, for me, remains is software support to retrieve the set of all articles in all subcats and the broad category being developed? I sincerely hope so.
I believe there are some extensions and some hacks around that allow this kind of thing. Nothing planned in the main branch of MediaWiki that I've heard of, but that doesn't stop anyone writing it. But the lack of a way of distinguishing tight subcat relationships from general ones places limits on how effective this can be. Currently there's nothing stopping a category including itself indirectly as a subcategory.
