All objects could have a precise category/archetype attribute. All objects have a very specific function, a archetype, and this makes it possible to categorize them exactly.
This would allow a better search and selection for objects. Specially the additional object librarys are now already nicely large.
And would make it possible to have a standard object for each archetype, which is always present in SH. (This is related to the feature request #813, "Save only reverences from objects in sw3d")
A specific archetype for objects could even help later on in development, for the handling of specific options and automations, only useful for a specific archetype.
A incomplete example could be:

Base Area
Room
Wall

Compass

Door
Window
Notch

Light switch
Electric Jack
Electric Fuse Box
