I've given it some further thought. As I understand it, the line would be drawn 
like this:

Facets where we can say: "If the facet has something to do with <Facetname> 
(e.g. network, x11, etc) the tags in the facet describe additional aspects of 
this". 
And then there are the other facets (role:: and use:: being perfect examples). 
The distinction is not perfect, e.g. ui:: being a corner case, you could ask: 
if the facet has a ui, what kind of UI has it? Or you just ask, what kind of UI 
does it offer.

The question to me is: What is the real world problem you are trying to solve? 
What benefit would come from distinguishing facets in such a way? It might be a 
conceptual step to group facets, but the additional work/complexity should 
serve a well defined purpose.

Sure, and I appreciate that. I am merely stating my opinion on that. My 
premisis is "Keep it simple" (as long as possible).

Best regards
