I wonder, could an advanced implementation handle asigning
multiple keywords to the Subject simply by selecting an
appropriate location within a heirarchy? I've found that
people are better at sticking things in the appropriate
category/sub-category than at selecting appropriate
keywords. Selecting more than one location could result in
the appropriate keyword lists being ANDed together with
duplicates removed.
Just an idea,
