Nono, and correct me if I'm wrong here, but the *facets* should be mutually 
exclusive (like: colours, regions), not the things-within-the-facets (how 
do you call these things anyway? like: red, white).

"A facet is a "clearly definied, mutually exclusive, and collectively 
exhaustive aspects, properties or characteristics of a class or specific 
subject" (Maple 1997)"
