 Well, it don't think we (doc people) have been aware that the class
 existed for very long.  Ceri has mentioned at least once, on some
 mailing list.
 
 It's not terribly important, as nothing actually uses it at the moment
 and as you noted in another mail - a lot of existing docs doesn't use
 it. For new content we might as well add it, since we might find some
 use for it at some point.

 It should, but the category list is generated from INDEX... I will look
 more into this.
