My gut instinct is that it will be perceived as overly complicated. Any 
issues concerning implementation are almost irrelevant in comparison to 
the question of usability. Two levels seems simple and effective enough, 
as well as easy to explain, but the three levels presented are 
conceptually too close and offer more choice than most would consider 
desirable, useful or practical. In library design, more choice does not 
necessarily equate with better.
