Are you sure about that, Travis? I'm under the impression that the
the mutual exclusivity rule means that you should never construct
a scheme where a value could exist under more than one
facet/attribute. Once you have a properly constructed scheme,
applying more than one value to the object you're indexing is
fine. I think Donna gave us an excellent example.
