Fuzzy category cross-referencing would definitely help.

Oh. I meant by all of that counter-example-ing that going down that path
crumbles because of the immediately arising need for an extra layer, i.e.
.domains or equivalent. Because of that, and other reasons, I think it's
too gross to actually consider.

Those would probably just pop up as regular discussions in a topical or a
geographical newsgroup. Probably best left there, where the participants
who would be closest to the processes would have the most exposure/input.
For example, the public discussions about GMLTC (gmltc.org) originated
in lugnet.loc.us.mn.msp (geographical group) and were crossposted later with
lugnet.trains (topical group).
