Yes, this was exactly what I wanted. Assigning different categories would
seem to break the dimensionality.

This was my fear.

I will need to do some testing and see. I still fear it is not exactly the
intended functionality.

Basically, I think I need something akin to the exclusive/compulsory groups
that are in place for organizational units, but instead, for arbitrary
dimensions. I will give a try and see what happens.
