 The AtomPub interface successfully exposes access to the existing
 categories of a particular blog, via the URL:

 http://[myblog]/wp-app.php/categories

 But the category listing is identified as "fixed", and this pans out. When
 a  client attempts to provide a category term with a name that has not
 been seen before, the interface just ignores it.

 It would be a nice enhancement to change the category collection to an
 editable one, and support provision of arbitrary new category names on
 supplied posts to the wp-app interface.

 As it is now, there is no way to add categories via the AtomPub interface.
