Yes it works. In fact, I found this idea after looking to fr -> eo rules.
I put in the file :
<def-cat n="nom_sujet">
<cat-item tags="n.*.nom"/>
</def-cat>
but "n.*.nom.*" is more general.
After succeeding I thought here was a mistake in Francis wiki page. But finally,
after reading the line again :
<cat-item tags="vblex.*.*.lp.*"/>
It is correct. The problem was before, I was ALWAYS reading :
<cat-item tags="vblex.*.*lp.*"/> :-((
may be because later, he speaks of the meaning of .*.* but not of the . before
lp
Another thing for my 2nd question. In fact :
<cat-item tags="n.*.nom"/>
works as much for something like :
^la<det><def><sp>$ ^aŭto<n><sg><nom>$ ^ruli<vbtr><pres>$
than for something like
^la<det><def><sp>$ ^viro<n><m><sg><nom>$ ^paroli<vbtr><pres>$
That may mean now .* is enough in the middle of a cat-item to say "one or more"
or may be "zero, one or more" tags before .nom
