Actually lme is better suited to nested designs than to crossed
designs and lme doesn't handle generalized linear mixed models.

GLMM from package lme4 does handle generalized linear mixed models but
does not handle crossed random effects easily.

I'm working on code that will handle nested, crossed and partially
crossed random effects but it will be some time before it appears in a
finished package
