Why not though? If one wants a dozen '1st class' tags which carry the
same category tag (e.g. Jan, Feb, ... all tagged 'Month'), it is
tedious to give that category tag to each of them by hand. Consider
that with a number of categories... I figure it could be much quicker
to write a list of the whole structure and generate tiddlers and tags
automatically from that.

Well, this still puts categories (Planet, RocketType) on the same
syntactical level as category values (high, low) and 'independent'
tags. Likewise a category can be a section heading (Priority, More --
'More' also seems a kind of category) or not (Planets, RocketType). It
may work code-wise but it's hard to grasp for the end user, I think.

Maybe I'm fundamentally misunderstanding this.

The simplification would be handy. But I see your reason for using the
params. I don't know how to combine that with the syntax change I'm
thinking of above... is it possible to nest sections?
