This may be fixed when we implement virtual pages or some sort
of "auto-create page" function (see my notes on "Plans for 2.2.0").

However, in the meantime you can get PmWiki to not return 404
result codes for pages in those groups.  The easiest way may
be to create a per-group configuration file for each group
that contains:

    <?php  if (!defined('PmWiki')) exit();
      $DefaultPageTextFmt = '';
      $PageNotFoundHeaderFmt = 'HTTP/1.1 200 Ok';

FWIW, using separate punctuation characters for each extra
category *could* lead to some problems down the road, especially
since some of them (such as '?') already have another meaning in
certain contexts.

In reality, there's not much special about the [[!Category]] markup;
one can create categories in other groups just by using the
groupname:

    [[Category/XYZ]]
    [[Tags/XYZ]]
    [[ProjectCategory/XYZ]]
    ...etc...
