 What I was trying to get at is that we shouldn't call it "strict" unless
 it's actually strict in a general, meaningful sense.  If you just want an
 ad hoc solution to the particular problem, better to call it something
 more specific.  Let's reserve "strict" for when we can actually make it
 strict.

 So a more specific ad hoc solution would be, for example, to create a new
 query var called something like `mandatory_cat` which if called the given
 singular post must have.

 {{{
 query_posts(
    array(
       'p' => 123,
       'mandatory_cat' => 456,
    )
 );
 }}}
