Comment:

 Turns out that the 'description' field is really the category name
 according the MetaWeblog API http://www.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi

 To keep MetaWeblog clients happy I've uploaded a patch that reverts this
 change (making 'description' show the category name again) and added a new
 field called 'categoryDescription' to show the actual WordPress category
 description.
