Yes, this was what I meant. Each individual 'pseudo hierarchy' object is still a strict hierarchy, but because they intersect, the actual content structure of the site as a whole is a multidimensional lattice.
This has several uses, such as the ability to show alternative content depending on a second top level hierarchy (as with your language example), or if you are using the additional hierarchy to represent a different organization of the same content, your server logs will very explicitly show what navigation methods are preferred by your users. One other idea I had was to have path dependent navigation rendering, instead of just context dependent navigation.
Any comments?
Michael Bernstein. Comments? Thank you Thank you Thank you. I have been struggeling with a metaphor for exactly that. You have put it into words for me, "Lattice" is an excellent name. I agree with you completely that this would be a great addition to Zope!
