This is going to be somewhat difficult. Some of the analysis tools do not make the subcategories easy to determine. There are others that create the subcategory dynamically.

We could add a "GetSubcategories" call to the individual analyzer API...

Yes, the problem is how the analyzers actually implement that. Most of the open source analyzers do not make getting this easy. Additionally, it implies that there is a static list. It prevents analyzers from being able to dynamically generate subcategory names.
