I really did not try it. The documentation says it is incomplete and that it needs a major rework.
I had enough problems trying other ways (maintenance import script and article->doEdit) that did not update the categories according to the templates, that I decided the way to go was to simulate a post to the web form to be assured that there would be no difference in behavior.
In addition, I needed web service, and although people talk about the API as if it were a web service, it is not one in the sense the term is usually applied, as far as I could understand.

Arghhh... I hadn't tested it so far yet. Can't you post edits or new pages using API.php yet?
(I'm writing a Delphi component for "direct talk" to Mediawiki).
