Hi, to answer your questions:
1) No - you'd need some script to convert bare category tags into field
values within template calls (which is the only type of data that Semantic
Forms can edit).
2) No - another possibility, though, is to make the Image: (or File:)
namespace editable by a form, so people can afterwards add categories to the
uploaded file.
3) No. (I see a trend here. :) ) It might make sense to have a "hide this
category from Semantic Forms" indicator for categories; the Semantic
Drilldown extension somewhat has need for a similar feature.
4) That seems like a fairly elegant way to do it. Another option is probably
to find the name of that language value, then turn it blank, by editing that
value's MediaWiki page. (I hope that made sense.)
5) By "comers", did you mean "corners"? In any case, I can't think of
another way to do it.
