I'm happy to see "taxonomy" and "vocabulary" bite the dust, but the average 
person would happily use "term" and "category" interchangeably to describe 
terms, though, so I think there's still potential for confusion there 
(especially considering what catch libcom has said about WordPress).

Categorising something means assigning it terms, after all, not somehow 
assigning it weird nebulous term-containing objects. Although -1 for 
"container", which sounds too much like something I'd put round my lunch 
rather than my terms.

I've asked my librarian chums, but does anyone here know what archivists and 
the like call all these things? That might point us in an unambiguous direction.
