Comment (by MichaelH):

 The analogy to the post table isn't quite fair as each row in wp_posts is
 differentiated by the post_type column.  When a category is initially
 created it is fair game to be used as either a post category or a link
 category and only after it is claimed by a published post (categories are
 not claimed by draft posts but that's another story!) or a link, does it
 become off-limits to the other.

 Under the current schema there may be no way to keep a category from being
 claimed as a tag.  In that sense a post category is a link category is a
 tag.  Maybe a column for category_type is called for.

 Notes:

 1. In the event a column for category_type is added, upgrade process will
 need to deal with the fact a category might be assigned to both a post and
 a link.

 2. In wp_categories should there be a tagged_private column?

 3. Is this the time to discuss tagging pages as well as posts?
