what about a semi-colon?  at least that is used for comments in somethings
so should be kinda intuitive.  or maybe two semi-colons?  otherwise it
doesn't really matter.

oh, and i thought of another good reason for category/sub-category
metadata.  in intranet environments (cause i'm working on getting a wiki
installed at work to replace our existing intranet).  if category
information is meta data then you could use it for governing permissions
to view/edit/etc a page, it also means it's easier to enforce some
structure on a wiki ... which i know is wiki ananthma :-) but it's also
really useful for some settings.

maybe you could have the drop box either be dynamically generated based
off page names (preserving traditional wiki anarchy), or it could have to
updated on a special page or config file (which would be great for more
structured environments).

anyway, just yell at me if you get sick of me spouting ideas and not
contributing anything. i'm working on it.
