Comment (by olly):

 Before 1.4.0, I think we should at least implement a change to have a
 single term per site, and change what `P` terms we index, as comment:3
 suggests.  Both are easy to make, but unsuitable for doing mid release
 series.

 Not quite clear to me if we want one `P` term with the "directory" part of
 the URL path of the document, or one for each parent directory too.  Both
 seem to have their use cases, but I think I'm leaning slightly towards the
 first currently.  Possibly we should index both, one as `P` and one as
 something else (perhaps `W` - mnemonic: "where" the document is).

 The "site" term could use prefix `C` (mnemonic: "cite" is a homonym of
 "site"?!) or `J` (sorry, I think I just strained my mnemonic generator).
