Ahem... that's actually something I would like to be able to avoid in some
cases.

Patrick has the point that specifying the name of a this particular
category is not so nice. I agree because of the reason that it'll get
annoying in other languages...

I think we'd all like to be able to generate a trail based on category
pages in general... actually, didn't I suggest that in some other post?
(Funny, I don't remember getting any replies on that topic actually... it
was about making (:pagelist:) exclude pages already listed on the current
page ... or maybe it's just to late and it's bedtime).

Sound ideas, and I think the strategy you just described could be very
useful for some sites. For my particular application I think it'd be too
limited however :-(
