--- Comment #5 from Fæ <[email protected]> ---
This might be a slight tangent, but chipping in my category experience...

I have been adding multiple categories to several batch upload projects now by
flexibly adding categories as a separated list of elements at the time when I
generate the XML file. Slightly naff early example I happen to have to hand:
  <cat_1>Brussels</cat_1>
  <cat_2>Images uploaded by Fæ</cat_2>
  <cat_3>Belgium</cat_3>

These are then added as categories at GWT "step 2" under "Item specific
categories". Problems are avoided by ensuring that a record with the maximum
number of categories appears at the top of the file, so is used as an exemplar
for mapping.

There is no particular benefit in bundling these as a parent single element, so
for the moment I would recommend new GWT users design their xml as a flat
layout of elements in this way. Anything other than a flat structure is far
more likely to cause unexpected issues during upload.
