Seems like an interesting idea, but is it worth trying to generalise it
so you can have 1+ columns and 1+ attrbutes rather than just 1-1?

That was the original intent for FilterColumn and I think it's a good one.

I'd be happy to set you up svn space for this - mail an htpasswd line to
"mst -at- shadowcat.co.uk" and I'll sort you out.
