Keywords vs. Categories

Hi Folks!

I've been looking through bugzilla and the mailing
list archives for a clear distinction between Keywords
and Categories.  I've filed a bug 
http://bugzilla.opengroupware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1249

to clean this up, and I'm hoping to have a better
understanding of the differences and/or similarities
between keywords and categories.

For example, in the person table in the db, there are
fields for "keywords", and another for
"associated_categories".  In my db, I don't have any
information in the "associated_categories" field, but
I do in "keywords".  My "keywords" on a person are an
aggregation of several categories, which are
individually editable when editing the contact.

Could someone explain the use of keywords and
categories in the following areas:

Contacts
Enterprises/Companies
Projects
Tasks

Categories and Keywords could be useful on Calendar
entries... is there a reason why they aren't listed on
the webui entry screen, but a "keywords" field exists
in the date_x table in the db?

Thanks for your time and clarification!

/Mike
