A provider can specify any number of new categories and assign them to  
Resources and Links or any other descendant from Kind. The only  
restriction is that you must create your own unique schemes. E.g.:  
http://provider.com/foo/bar, http://provider.com/bar/foo, etc. You can  
assign arbitrary many categories to a given Resource/Link/Action.

Yes, this is obviously wrong, or at least not near as clear as it could  
be. Nice of you to point it out. Will fix.
