It looks interesting and quite powerful to structure content.

>
> * You can create a new Category page either as a top level page or as a
> child of an existing Category page
> * You can create a new Procedure page only as a child of an existing
> Category or Procedure page
>
> Category -> ... Category -> Procedure -> ... -> Procedure

> One solution to achieve this is to add a new property to the template
> provider, e.g. "parentType", that specifies the type of pages (XClass
> references) that are allowed as parent. We would use a Database List with
> multiple selection and relational storage. We can use the empty string to
> represent "no parent" (i.e. top level page). An empty list would mean no
> parent type restriction.

> Category template provider: {parentType: ["CategoryClass", ""]}
> Procedure template provider: {parentType: ["CategoryClass",
> "ProcedureClass"]}
