I believe that Petko's solution to Pits:00447 made [[!MyCategory | +]]
work, but unfortunately there was never a clear consensus on the
pagelist markup and so the fix was never released.

BTW, what do you mean when you say [[Category.MyCategory | +]] doesn't
create a "category link"?  I know there was discussion about
differentiating between [[Category.MyCategory]] and [[!MyCategory]]
(see same PITS entry) but my understanding was that no actual changes
occurred and those 2 markups are functionally interchangeable as
things stand...
