Description
It would be nice if one could do multiple parallel classifications for controlling different visual variables.
Example:
The classification of on attribute controls the fill color, the classification of a different attribute controls the stroke color, and the classification of a third attribute controls the stroke-width.
The advantage would be that one has to deal with fewer classes when comparing the the traditional rule-based renderer or when combining all attribute combinations into a single attribute.
The legend would have to be revised though, as to show only the aspects the attribute is controlling.

Is this now covered with the data defined symbols?

The rule-based renderer, the data-defined symbology and expressions certainly help to cover these cases. But it is still very time-consuming, esp. when a lot of classes are involved. For QGIS >2.0 we should discuss a better UI that help to deal with classifications involving two or more fields.

I am closing this, because I think that our symbology system is now powerful enough to handle the cases I have.
