 * I agree that what I am looking for is likely to be difficult/impossible to implement
   in a plugin. So maybe someone with some insight on current development can chime
   in and/or bring this up with developers.
 * To clarify further: I am looking for a more role based approach to controlling
   who can create content in different categories. But I also want to control who
   can view content in those categories based on their membership in a role based
   group. These are sometimes called “sections” in other CMS’s. So for instance,
   most sections would be public and everyone could read and maybe only registered
   users comment, a normal setup. Then I might have a couple categories that were
   only visible for reading by registered members of a specific, defined group (
   role based). Furthermore I could allow or disallow content creation in those 
   categories based on membership a role based group.
 * There are solutions out there that implement this functionality, but they are
   all much more bloated CMS’s rather than blog engines. They take much more work
   to setup and manage and are more oriented to entire site content management instead
   of focusing on blogging. Some examples ezpublish, Xaraya.
 * I want a simple blog engine that implements the del.icio.us like categorizing
   and “drilling down.” Where it shows you everything and allows you to narrow your
   focus by clicking on the categories/tags. That’s what led me to wordpress. It
   of course has this functionality as categories or using the tags plugin. WordPress
   is also incredibly easy to set up and manage; it’s only lacking role based acls.
