I've spent the day thinking about this and now I think relays != communities but that UX probably still solves this. I may only be slowly catching up here to things you've already thought through.

Where relays are physical servers, and
Where communities are groups of users

I can imagine situations of multiple communities within one relay (e.g. the user is a family member involved in many other small family groupings but does not need dedicated relay for each)

I can imagine situations of multiple relays for one community (e.g. the user is a large multinational company who wants high availability and hosts a relay in each of US-East and Asia geography)

Examples seem to break the 1:1 association and require NIP-28 (or 29?) as well. So then the question is of hierarchy and primacy in the UX.

What were you thinking?
