I'm in the process of going through a number of application scenarios with Atom and I'm coming up with a problem because I cannot associate a URI with a <category> element.

This is mainly coming up in the context of tagging. I want to be able to specify a tag and a URI that can be used to request a list of other items associated with that tag.

What I want is:

<category scheme="..."
          term="..."
          href="..." />

What I end up having to do is:

<category scheme="http://.../tag";
          term="foo" />
<link rel="http://.../tag";
      title='foo"
      href=".../?tag=foo" />

Having an href attribute on the Category element strikes me as an obviously useful thing that we need to make sure gets into a future update of the specification.
