[wp-hackers] Should child category selection auto-select the parent category?

[Doug Daulton]

WP's child categories are brilliant.  My only question is ...

Should child category selection auto-select the parent category?

For example, if I have the following structure:

- Monkeys and Apes
      - Gorillas
      - Chimps
      - Spider Monkeys

- Big Cats
      - Tigers
      - Lions
      - Leopards

If I select "Tigers"  should'nt WP automatically assign that post to 
"Big Cats" as well?  If this is not the default, shouldn't it be an 
option which gets set globally by the admin ?

Just a thought.
