Subject: [ubl-cmsc] The hierarchical-context-value problem


I happened to be talking to Ron Daniel of Interwoven today, who 
mentioned their product called MetaTagger, which includes a taxonomy 
editor.  This reminded me of the issue we've got with indicating you 
want a rule to trigger when a context value is X *or* any ancestor of X 
in the taxonomy, and so I asked him what they do in this case.

It turns out that they take a sort of brute-force approach; there's no 
standard or especially clever way that Ron knows of to get this, and 
he's someone who should know.  So stuffing all the ancestor values into 
a context description (geo="Europe:France") in order to let a context 
rule trigger on a higher-level value isn't *necessarily* the stupid idea 
I thought it might be...
