Indeed.  The exercise of putting together a category hierarchy, the
feedback I have received, and just a couple of decades of research on
object-oriented design, have convinced me of its inflexibility.  An
extensible set of tags is a better approach.

I will discuss with Marc whether LinkIt can be modified to support
tags, and report back here.  Stay tuned.
