Ah, no, that's not what I meant. I have two blog groups, EnBlog containing the
pages of an English blog and FrBlog containing pages of a French blog. I need

   .../pmwiki.php/EnBlog/RecentChanges?action=rss

to somehow know to fill in the <category>...</category> tags in the RSS feed
using links to the Tags group as category indicators.

Similarly, I want

   .../pmwiki.php/FrBlog/RecentChanges?action=rss

to fill in the <category>...</category> values using links from the FrBlog
pages to the Balises group.

Is this possible, or have I fundamentally misunderstood how PmWiki generates
category tags inside RSS feeds?
