We've done a similar thing for Java. It was ridiculously easy to create a
TreeModel wrapped around this data. Almost too easy; it made me feel dirty.

y b is a subcategory of subcategory c, where I'm not sure your
model will preserve or guarantee that. (Does that sentence deserve a prize?)
In general, if you know that you will need to periodically alter a table to
add columns, you should come up with a different model that doesn't r
ion, I guess.
The problem with this method is if you need to insert a category, or move a
category. You'll need to re-id a bunch of categories, and bubble those
changes out to every table that refers to this table.
