Ben,

I actually did a search for your recipe just a few minutes ago! I wanted 
to see if I was stepping on any toes/how I could make the two work together.

I was thinking that if a user set $EditMoreTagsPlacement = "Mcat" that 
it would make the whole <div> of categories display:none. That way, 
MediaCat can grab them. Can you think of something better?

The other thing is, to account for needs like Dave's, I'm going to make 
a page directive optional for placement of the div. I can't seem to 
think of a way to allow MediaCat to fancy it up in a different position 
though. Any ideas?

Lastly, I'm wondering if it would be better if you or I just updated the 
MediaCat code instead of me putting adding it to EditMore.

Let me know! (Right now, it's time for dinner.)
