 Replying to [comment:3 josephscott]:
 > allow metaWeblog.newPost and friends to grow support for that using a
 new field.  category_ids ?

 That seems like a fair compromise, and would be easier to implement than
 creating a full set of new methods.

 The complexity comes in if a user specifies both categories by name and
 categories by ID ... would we accept only one over the other?  Accept and
 filter on both?

 And would we return both `categories` and `category_ids` as arrays with
 similar information?
