Are the subcategories and subsubcategories on the list of Resource Types
meant to be exclusive, or just a partial list?
I'm not thinking of the kind of extensibility Jon Knight described in his
"document.story.x-childrens.x-horror" example (where there wasn't a third
or fourth level in the model, so they had to be created by the end user),
but rather of a case where there is a second or third level in the model,
but none of the choices seem to fit the resource that the user wants to
describe.
In a case like that, can the users create their own extensions at that
level? Can they simply stop at the first (or second) level? Or does the
fact that none of the subcategories are appropriate mean that the broader
category is also inappropriate?
