Sorry for e-mailing off list initially, and thanks for the reply. Had seen the multistream dumps but didn't know at all about those scripts.
There aren't so many scripts just yet but I'm hoping people will be interested in writing more :-)
Are you trying to let people update dumps of just the current revisions of pages (pages-articles), or the dumps with full edit histories (pages-meta-history) as well? On first read I thought you meant the former, then I thought the latter, now not sure.
I was thinking of the full history dumps, which are the most time-consuming to produce, take forever to download, and are generally just a PITA. If we were going to introduce a new dump format I'd like to do it for those, and anything else could be discussed later.
Either way, you raise an interesting point about efficiently handling something like a bulk category update.
Category updates are a matter of shoveling in the latest category table produced along with all the other dump files, assuming that one's local copy of wp doesn't have editing going on. This isn't optimal but it's also a problem we can put off for another day.
