Is the information available to sort by such criteria Paul?
If so then yes.

Speaking from fairly bitter experience. 
I've been criticised for 'answering the wrong question' or
bad categorising, for 6 years now.
  Bottom line, we can't please all of the people all of the time.
People seem to come at information from n different directions.
Its really hard without something like a topic map to provide
the differing schemas that will meet the varying needs of users.
  Great idea, and a list of xrefs would answer some of the questions.
No problem using docbook to mark it up...
  The logic for it, the groupings etc, I'll leave to the group,
I gave up trying to outguess people some time ago.
  My best solution is to use a google search of a list of pages.
