David, Fred is referring specifically to the assignment of txf categories in the tax options portion of GnuCash accounts. These txf categories are assigned to one or more GnuCash accounts and allow a user in theory to export their tax data directly to tax software. I would argue that, in this case, GnuCash is, in fact implementing categories (orthogonal measures of financial data sets).
