categories

 The capability used for managing categories is `manage_categories`. Guess
 what it is for managing tags? It's not `manage_tags`, nor
 `manage_post_tags`. It's `manage_categories` too.

 This causes a problem when you're trying to control capabilities for tags
 and categories separately.

 The patch to change the capability for tags to `manage_post_tags` is a
 simple one, but it could potentially introduce an issue where people who
 have the `manage_categories` capability would no longer be able to manage
 tags.

 Thoughts? Should this be changed?
