The real problem with categories is that more often then not
real life objects cannot put in categories as simple is putting them  
in a tree.
Often there is a need to look into a products location from
different angles.

I think this is the reason why not so many extensions/tools exist that  
do this well,
simple because it looks like that categorization is often a need/ 
requirement specific
to the application, not easily done in a universal way
