I don't see anything wrong with using non-standard categories, as long
as they are prefixed with X-, as recommended in the menu spec, and are
used _in addition_ to one of the registered main categories.

interpretation of the standards. I'll definitely be adding the extra
categories in addition to the registered categories.
