Then a search like CATEGORY="cat" would also return entries which CATEGORY property is not "cat"... ok, maybe this doesn't hurt that much for search purposes. But I expect someone will come in three month complaining that `org-entry-get' didn't return the category, even though he set it up through #+CATEGORY. Anyway, not *that* important, as Adam said earlier... let's try. -- Bastien
