now, this is rather interesting. i was wondering all the time what  
this new feature in silva-1.3 was all about:

- Metadata sets can have a 'category' property. This property
   can be used to define special purpose metadata sets.

i wonder if i could use this property to have *domain* specific  
metadatasets. e.g. in deep virtual host situations with one single  
silva instance i have the domains www.domain1.com, www.domain2.com,  
www.domain3.com, etc. maybe i would like to have additional  
metadatasets which should only be available for specific domains.  
could i enter e.g. "www.domain1.com, www.domain4.com" in the category  
and assign the sets somehow to those domains only? the big question  
is how do i tell silva to use the domain specific metadatasets from  
the domain root in silva? the easiest way would be to have an  
index_html in each domain root and define the category there. does  
this work?
