Sometimes, faceted classification can go a little too far:

rix?action=categorylist&group=object

I think this is a great example (or rather, a counter-example) of why a
*controlled* vocabulary is important. The field "Building Name" is
clearly one which should not be exposed as a navigable facet, since
apparently you can enter anything you want into the field.
