BTW, as this is so useful in contexts other than news/informational, I propose changing the name from Topics to 'Category' or 'ZCategory'.

I agree that these are better names.

(I don't have a definitive objection, but would like to point out that "topic" tends more to suggest to me a hierarchy than does "category" - it seems more open to the notion of layering, which i consider a very important aspect of the topics proposal...) (ken) klm@digicool.com
