This question is sparked by the research on lepton masses by Brannen, Kea, de Vries, Dave and others, but it is independent of it.
Point is, what unification models do a explicit unification of colour and flavour?
Particularly I have notes about considering [tex]SU(3) \subset SO(7)[/tex], where this SU(3) is not color but a diagonal of the direct sum of SU(3)_colour and SU(3) generations. My notes tell that this was a proposal of GellMann in 1983 or near, and I have some extra lines naming, guess, Ne'eman and others. But I have forgot to take note of the exact reference and I have been unable, for some weeks, of finding it again.
