Can you please point me to where categories are defined in the API,
and how they are manipulated? I recall some posts about a query format
along the lines of http://example.com/-/cat1/cat2 but I don't see that
in the wiki anywhere.

Categories are mostly useless for interoperability without a dedicated
vocabulary/schema - I will want to ask every provider for a list of my
"compute template" (or whatever the official label is) resources, and
I can't do that if the label is not standardized by the spec.

And, does the API support adding my own tag to a resource I own, like
tagging a specific compute resource "dbserver"?
