I think it would be most useful to adopt an existing category hierarchy,
and if possible either supply or refer to a web page that defines each
and gives some examples. One question: how will the syntax for
nested/sub-categories look? Will it be:

<category>database/browser</category>

or is it even useful to get into such sub-classifications? (personally,
I think it is, and the tool could aggregate all general and subcategory
matches when viewed directly...)

One thing I am a little concerned with is getting this design figured
out as soon as is humanly possible, particularly if we intend to provide
this for 2.0-final, since -beta-1 will have to be feature-complete, and
it none too far away...
