Ron - I think SOLR-792 meets the need you describe. What do you
think? It's "tree faceting", allowing you to facet down 2 levels deep
arbitrarily on any two fields. Ideally we'd enhance it to be of
arbitrary depth too.

Another use for this is that I'd like to make a quicker
way of drilling down on my documents than going one facet
at a time by showing the user a 2-dimensional table that
combines 2 facets. For example, showing a table like this
on the page:
Make
FORD GM Honda TOYOTA [....]
MONDAY 17 23 4 2
TUESDAY 11 9 174 5
WEDNESDAY 3 6 9 1
...
and when the user clicks the "174" it automatically adds
the "Vehicle Make = Toyota" and "Day of week = Tuesday"
facets to the query.
(I'm a solr newbie, so my apologies if this already exists, or
if it's just a bad idea, or if I should just be using another
tool for that (possibly in conjunction with solr), but....)
