My answer is not authoritative at all since I'm new here too (and 
Radim Blazek as the main designer of the new vector format would be 
the best to tell) but reading the specs for the new vector format one 
sees that this new format supports many different categories for a 
single geometrical element, meaning that you could tag a single line 
both as a parcel boundary and a state/country/municipal etc. boundary.
