wonder to what extent
it'll be abused by upstream developers cramming in any and every even
vaguely related keyword, though.

Could you please compare and contrast your proposed approach with the

It's a bit hard to maintain my righteous fury at the unhelpfulness of

don't.
Here's an idea: instead of having separate Main Categories and
Additional Categories, why not simply have a list of Suggested
Categories and a recommended algorithm for determining which ones to

I can't believe that, after all these years, XDG *still* hasn't managed
to correct this obvious deficiency in the original set of main
categories.
