Beyond places and persons (which are well-covered in your draft) there are events (maybe in CIDOC CRM? If so, more details on that could help!), measurements, colors, etc.

Yes, as well as pointers to vocabulary registries. In order to avoid an "RDF silo" of LLD we need to use existing vocabularies -- but that requires knowing what they are, as we describe in the recommendations draft here:
http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/lld/wiki/Draft_issues_page#Identify_vocabularies_that_are_needed_to_support_the_creation_and_use_of_LLD_.5BJS.5D

I was thinking of categories with the novice audience in mind--because one possible outcome is a "lookup table" of some common vocabularies, or at least something that would be easy to scan visually as a reference.

I agree that categorizing is challenging!
