So what were you thinking? the hierarchy stuff already has the
infrastructure for checking for '.' in the identifier and splitting out
the "parent", which in your case would be the lower part of the range.
Obviously these have hierarchy specific names and would be very
confusing to on-lookers so maybe we could generalize those to avoid
repeating code. 

Then we just convert everything to identifier and anything that expects
a category can check for '.' and set the values appropriately, this
seems even cleaner than the way it's done now with the MLS_CAT_RANGE
string.. 

I can probably bang this out pretty quickly unless you had something
else you wanted to do with MLS or prefer to deal with that part
yourself, let me know what you want to do. Also, will you be able to
send a policy patch at the same time that rids the policy of those
spaces?

Thanks, Joshua Brindle
