I think I know exactly what you mean, Steve. When you have large repositories of information there is always more than one way to navigate that information and FarCry is a "single navigation" model framework (almost)....

I could be wrong here but this is where I think FarCry has some potential to expand. The concept (in generic terms as I see it) is to have a whole mess of content that you can categorise and navigate in multiple ways. You would still have to have a basic site navigation (in FarCry - because that that is how it works) but you want to be able to place ANY piece of content into one or more "categories". I think this is also a good case for being able to have multiple "category" trees in FarCry (instead of the single category tree that is there now). Yes, you can create "sub-categories" off the main category root that could be your "mutiple" categories. You could then present these category trees as pseudo-navigation in the site and display all documents that exist in the selected categories. In fact, the dmNavigation already works this way - it is just treated as a special case. This is a case for being able to categorise ALL dmType derived objects. I think I previously asked about being able to place dmHTML into a "Category" instead of just the other derived types. I think I could code up the scenario Steve presented if this were the case. Of course, with 2.1 just around the corner - and user extended core types - I may be able to do it just for my own system and pass back the extended dmHTML type.
