In sourmash taxonomy, we're adding utils to use the LIN taxonomic framework, which allows for greater flexibility and specificity compared with standard taxonomic ranks.

Is this something you're interested in allowing for viz? Though LINs aren't super widely used yet, I think they have neat potential for sourmash applications.
