Thanks Yaron. Two followup questions: (1) How would you implement a hierarchy of place types using Cargo? Would you just have a TYPE field (nation, city, neighborhood) and PARTOF field with all pages being part of category PLACE? Or would you try to do something more sophisticated with categories (place:nation, place:city) ?
(2) Is there any way to autocomplete on a set of pages that match a query? Perhaps a query that draws from the current contents of form pulldown menus, etc?
