When my theme initially wouldn't test, I also suspected that Kathleen's quoted syntax, "<categories>animals,entertainment</ categories>" was wrong and tried what I thought would be the more likely syntax "<Meta name="categories">animals,entertainment</Meta>". My theme tested OK at my end using the different syntax, as you have also discovered.
However, as there was no way of finding out how either syntax would work at Google's end, short of waiting a couple of months (or perhaps for ever), I thought I'd ask the question and hope for a quick retraction/clarification from Kathleen. Judging by the posts complaining that themes are NEVER updated, it will be very interesting to see whether your update on categories ever happens. I'll check back here in a few months. I wonder how all the themes which are now showing up in the new categories actually got there so quickly? Someone must have overridden the system somewhere. Google really needs to find a cure for the "mushroom syndrome" we developers are all suffering from!
