Yes -- although I have some issues with your terminology.

I don't know if these terms are right.  I think [1] is both platform
and/or architecture.  I've been using 'subarchitecture' for [2].  I
don't know if there is a better term for that.

Attached is the resulting tree that I came up with for sparc.  I
haven't had any comments from the sparc folks so this is provisional.
