Comment (by markjaquith):

 Another idea (someone else brought it up... maybe you, Ryan, but I'd been
 thinking the same thing):

 Allow hierarchical category creation (including creation of non-existing
 parents).

 I like the > character for that use.

 We simply explode on ">" and then trim, and then start with array element
 0 (N) and then go down the list.  If element N doesn't exist on level N+1,
 we create it.

 With non-hierarchical category entries for an existing category, we'd use
 the existing one (instead of creating a new top-level category).  This
 logic would need some usability testing... there is potential for
 confusion.
