Ok, one last remark regarding the sites issue:
If we're agreeing that the GRASS data structure should be consistent, why
not create the same structure that exists for vector and raster-data:
only one attribute allowed for each site (integer, of course, but in
future maybe floating-point) and storing the category information in a
site_cats directory? All the data processing that goes beyond already has to
be done in a RDBS for vector and raster now. Advantages of this: tools
like grass-informix won't be dependent on x,y alone, and the display
commands can be standardized (there already is some stuff around like
d.what.site and d.site.labels). Just a suggestion...
