Description : With multiple vocabularies available, a node may be associated with more than one vocabulary.

Problem : One of the vocabularies selected may be more of a primary vocabulary, or more relevant, than the other selections. In other words, while all associated vocabularies are relevant, one may carry more weight for the node.

Suggestion : When a node is entered and associated vocabularies are selected; indicate which vocabulary is primary. A method of prioritizing associated vocabularies.

Advantage : The advantage to having multiple categories visible with the node is to allow a user to see relevant nodes. With a primary vocabulary, a user may see nodes which may be more relevant compared with nodes of other vocabularies.

Example : A node is 'Canned Beans are Good for You.'
Vocabularies associated with this node are: vegetables, canned food, and health.
With the ability to have a primary vocabulary, I would select 'health' as primary for this node.
I see that if someone is interested in that node, they are likely more interested in health than vegetables or canned food.

Vocabularies can have weights and the lightest vocab should be the first in the node form.

If the same vocabularies are used in different nodes they can have different priorities.
This can be a nice feature!

This suggestion could also apply to folksonomies, the ability to provide weight/prioritize tags.
