I see the tracks as part of the navigation, which could be:
a) search-based ("googling through the docs")
b) track-based ("what do you want to study")
c) document-type based ("faqs", "guides", etc.)
In this view tracks documents are orthogonal to the rest of the
documentation, so yes, a separate classification.
Either there are "tracks" XML documents that point to other docs and need to
be properly maintained, or (parts of?) documents that need to be included in
a track contain attributs like
<belongs-to-track track-name="html-publishing" chapter="intro"
position="250"/>
Where position is a relative ID used to sort the document when creating the
track.

Certainly useful, but the "official document names" are very important IMHO
so that the user knows what is what.
