Patrick, just as one example, my blog (which uses BlogCFC) does indeed send that "category" element, and it's based on the "category" I pick in my site. As I said in an earlier note, though, the categories I choose are based on my own presumption that people looking at my blog already know it's all about CF, and therefore want a breakdown within that. I don't by and large tag every blog entry with CF as a category.
 
This does raise an interesting idea that perhaps Ray might consider: a means to set a default category that all posts from a given blog would have (kind of a meta-category), with a clear option to turn it off for posts that do not fit. Of course, humans being humans, it's always possible one could miss that they should have turned it off for an off-topic post. There's got to be some balance that could be achieved in solving these different problems. :-) I think it's just a matter of time. We're still pretty early in the history of the blogosphere.
 
PS Thanks, praggyenator, for the vote of confidence in my other idea. And Mark raises the idea of delicious. I have to admit I just have never gotten into it. Maybe it could well be part of the solution.

oooh wait!
then i find this: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss#ltcategorygtSubelementOfLtitemgt

the rss 2.0 spec does support categories

seems it just needs to be a case of getting bloggers to be more specific about what categories their posts relate to.. or maybe to goog aggregator more picky about what posts it includes into its blended feeds ?
