New description:

 Allow denoting a post as a certain style/type/kind.  Some example styles
 are aside, gallery, link, quote.  This will allow themes to style these
 posts according to kind.

 This can be implemented as a custom taxonomy. wp_post_style, for example.
 Terms within wp_post_style would be the styles.  Some core styles will be
 pre-populated.  The slugs and names will be stored as English. Dummy
 gettext calls will get the strings into the catalog and later the fetched
 names can be run through translate().

 It can also be implemented as a post meta field.  Since there can be only
 one type per post, a taxonomy could be overkill. Using meta would also
 save us an extra taxonomy query.  Using a taxonomy would, however, make it
 easier for plugins to add new types persistently.

 UI on the edit post form will allow selecting from one of the terms in the
 wp_post_style taxonomy.  Themes will be provided some simple API such as
 get_post_style() and has_post_style().
