5 categories of commands

Under http://www.compstrm.org/wiki/cc/ReadMe/CswCmds I have now arranged the commands into five categories:
  1. Classifier,
  2. Content,
  3. Descriptor,
  4. Navigation and
  5. Structure.

(Of course, some commands are under more than one category.)

Now I'm thinking of adding a command navigation line above the third line of the display template, allowing you to pick a command category. That would bring up a page describing the commands in the category. Drilling down further might bring up a full command description and a form for running the command.

This would probably work by adding additional templates.

The general idea here is that applications would be a simple extension on this, giving the user visibility into the application-specific commands applicable to various Topics.
