- should categories be based on content? If you dissociate them from content, you create a new type of meta-content, which will need its own curation and patrolling workflows and interfaces, export/import mechanism etc. A pretty large task. - if they are dissociated from content, should categories be centralized across projects? (A prerequisite to using Wikidata.) A non-trivial social issue as currently even the different language editions of the same project can have very different categorization practices; using the same category system for Wikipedia and Wikibooks sounds awkward. - if they are associated with content (ie. given a revision, the parser can always recreate the category list), should they live in the wikitext, outside it (some sort of revision props) or both? Templates rely very strongly on the ability to create categories via wikitext transclusion. - should categories be hierarchic or shallow with easy intersection (ie. tags)? Tags are much easier to add but harder to organize.
