RE: [dita-fa-edboard] Blog instructions

["Carol Geyer" <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

I only use the static "page" content type for site instructions and info, never
for pages that contain *real* DITA-specific content. 

My first assumption would be we don't need or even want to insert category tags
on those pages.

I'm noticing that static pages (the "page" type) cannot be tagged. Is it 
possible/desirable to enable tagging for them?
