Sounds like a discussion for -chat. If you're interested in
classification schemes in general, there's lots of literature knocking
around ranging from the library science world to description logics.
Perceived wisdom amongst "community builders" is that groups with a
common goal or outlook will arrange classification schemes according to
their preferences and needs; these may well be arranged with completely
orthogonal principle axes depending on the need.

While such a discussion might be "fun" (particularly since there's no
One True Answer), it's likely to rathole. Could you move this offlist?
