I really wasn't clear at all in that first post. I
mean that articles and
categories should belong to *many* categories, rather than being in a strict
hierarchy. So in your example, put the author in all three categories -
Fantasy writers, SF writers and Horror writers.
In the current system, articles can belong to many categories _and_ be in
hierarchies. There already is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Science_fiction_writers ,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fantasy_writers and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Horror_writers , and each of these
categories belongs to both the "writers" hierarchy (part of the
"people"
hierarchy) and their respective genre hierarchies as well.
I'm not sure what calling these things "sets" and "subsets" would
add that
isn't already there.
