   the document says: “load: Default is false. Loads the category into memory, making
   it available for using Category Tags rather than displaying the category using
   the Category Tags.”
 * Does the load parameter do anything different when set to true?

 * Yes it does. When `load` is false that tag will show the catalog products using
   the `category.php` Shopp template file for rendering instructions.
 * When `load` is true the collection of products is loaded but not rendered, allowing
   the developer to create custom instructions ad hoc for showing the product collection,
   instead of using the template.

 * Excellent! This will significantly reduce the effort of theming shopp, just what
   I need. :+1:
