Bug report first: The new "Subcategories" links do not point to the
Category: namespace but into the main namespace.

Unnecessary. They're displayed as
"normal" categories of this very page.
Of course! D'oh.

What about double entries? "Biochemistry" is
both in category "Biology"
and "Chemistry". Should that appear under both?
Yes, I think it should appear under both. A little redundancy here won't
hurt.

Trying your first suggestion. Looks OK.
I agree, looks fine to me.

*Way* too complicated without a separate database
table
I presume you're using the LINKS table. Why not add a LINK_ID to the table
and have a separate LINK_AS table that includes the sorting criteria and
can be looked up for categories? Updated on page save?
As for separation, let's keep the idea of a meta namespace open -- we can
always move this stuff if need be. I envision a scheme where by default, a
user sees two edit windows for each page, the big article editor and a
small meta editor, but he can decide to disable the meta stuff if he
doesn't care about it at all.
