MY personal start on high level branches (something akin to facets, and 
the aspects of each top level facet, although probably not strictly a 
faceted taxonomy)), along with some suggested terminology is in
draft-halpern-rrg-taxonomy-00.txt.

While that document can definitely still use further clarifications, I 
would appreciate comments from other folks on its content before I 
produce -01.

Thank you,
