As I understand it, the plan is that categories here will work much like tags do elsewhere. Such that whether you call it a "category" or a "tag" is irrelevant.
Categorisation on Wikipedia will remain an editorial decision, with considerations of NPOV, verifiability and so forth. (And I've just had the idea of references for categories pop into my head. Euwww.)
Maybe it's just me, but like Andrew, I find the tags system to be not very structured and on occasion, confusing. I still think working with the existing category system would be a better idea - not to mention that it'd probably be more technically feasible.
