The category has nothing to do with Test Director. Each test case in QA
(including the ones that have not been exported to TD yet) has one of
the 3 categories associated with it. The doc is updated with the
definition of the categories. It allows us to select a subset of cases
for each area, depending on how much regression is needed for each
feature.

Test Category Support.  (Damon)

- shouldn't do categories that relate to test director unless we can
have our tests automatically populate test director with results.   My
take is that it would be better to use a different database instead of
Test Director, in which case we don't need to make these changes.

If you do want categories in the test descriptions, then you should
create new test functions that take these as arguments (i.e. ok(), is()
etc...), and make the arguments required.   But I'm not in favor of
this.
