Thanks for this list. Most of them match up nicely but there are still a few issues.
I was trying to match these up with the choices available in the AdWords UI, and I couldn't find one related to "Sensitive Themes". As an experiment, I tried to set a category exclusion using SENSITIVE with the API, and when I looked in the UI, it showed up in the exclusions list with the name "null". So I'm not sure if it was a valid exclusion and there was just no name to show for it in the UI, or what was going on there. Also, I think that some of these values are "groups of categories" rather than actual categories. You can see these in the separate Site and Category Exclusion Tool in the UI, not in the little section for doing exclusions right in the Networks tab for a campaign. For example, in the Exclusion Tool, "Edgy Content" is the heading above the 3 categories Juvenile, Profanity, and Sexually suggestive. It is not actually a choice you can make in the UI, it is just a heading. This also applies to "Conflict and Tragedy" and "User generated content". I did another test where I tried to set an exclusion for CONFLICT_TRAGEDY via the API, and again I got an entry with the name "null" in the UI. So it may be that SENSITIVE is also a "heading" rather than an actual category.
