But this is categorization information which will change from culture
to culture and from user to user. Yes, it might be that almost
everyone *here* agrees that X is ``speculation'', but why should one
classification (gross though it may be) be imposed on the articles in
the back-end.

I agree that making a classifier based on such a scheme is a good idea
(and most other classifiers may choose to also use this information),
but this information should be in a database separate from the article
repository.
