I have concluded that they are now talking about the web site and not
keywords in general.

My assumption was that the category field selections are not persisted
in the model metadata at all.

I would have liked some indication that the 'categories' used also end
up in the model keywords attributed to the model in addition to the
keywords supplied by the author when creating or uploading the model.

I would like there to be as many keywords allowed as the
author/uploader wants (perhaps just a lines field will do for now for
this). Constraining them to a single extra keyword in addition to a
selected category makes no sense to me.
