Feb 6, 2013 at 18:52 comment added Todd Trimble Oh, thanks for pointing that out. I guess one could say instead that an ideal in a commutative ring is either submaximal, maximal, or unit, but this makes it look a lot like the previous example (in fact, the previous example becomes a special case in some sense). Perhaps I'll edit; I don't know.
Feb 6, 2013 at 18:43 comment added Terry Tao Unfortunately, the p.i.d. example has the blemish that one has to exclude the zero element (or add it to make it a tetrachotomy).
