Hi Miklos. This toolbar and classification system is designed for organisations
following the TSCP document classification framework. TSCP is a defence
industry initiative and as such this classification system is geared towards
that use, not general business document classification. As your blog says, the
work in LibreOffice was even "made possible" (I assume funded?) by the Dutch
Ministry of Defence: http://vmiklos.hu/blog/classification-toolbar.html

There is nothing necessarily wrong with the work being done for that purpose of
course. But it should be very clear in the interface that this is not a
general-purpose document classification system (e.g. for general business use).
Since it is specific to TSCP standards, it should be labelled as such.

According to the above blog post, the toolbar is disabled by default, and
enabled via:

View → Toolbars → Classification

Instead the toolbar should then be termed "TSCP classification" or "TSCP BAILS
classification" or similar.

That should also be extended to the toolbar itself, which has enough room
(looking at http://vmiklos.hu/blog/classification-toolbar-multicat.html) for
the addition of e.g. "TSCP classification" on the left of the toolbar. However,
this wouldn't be a necessity as long as the toolbar is not enabled by default,
since it should be clear to anyone who has manually enabled the toolbar what
its purpose is.

But as mentioned, without properly describing what the toolbar is for anyhwere
in the interface, the initial issue remains - these descriptions are not
accurate or helpful in isolation. A general user, looking to categorise for
example general business documents, who enables a seemingly fit for purpose
"Classification" toolbar, would be presented with what seem to be a badly-named
and confusing set of three dropdowns, each with identical options. They will
not have any idea that they are BAILS classifications for TSCP-compliant
documents!
