Good to know, but I understand Laurent to be using 1.x (and probably
will for some time to come).

Hm. How does this work? I must've missed it in your description of 2.0 work.
Is it that if you create a 3-sided card in the category Japanese, say,
then each of the 3 cards will be asssigned to some subcategory? (I
guess the names :English, :Kana, and :Kanji would be obtained by
asking the user, or perhaps they'd just be arbitrarily chosen as :1
and :2 and :3 for the user to rename as desired.)
