The heirarchy defined by the package name is likely to be too deep for
general use.  Two levels is probably about right, though in some cases,
three might work.  But many packages will have more than that.  So we'll
still need another organizational structure.

Yes.  The tags and attributes document sitting in Stephen's home directory
in some sort of unreadable format talks about having both a short and a
long description field.

We'd like to see something like that, yes.
