As I'm not part of the WordPress dev team (just someone who develops sites for clients in WordPress) I don't know whether there is a spec for "category tag", but I will open an issue with the WordPress team and ask them to write one if they haven't already and to then update the entry in the Microformats wiki. However, with my MSM "pedant" hat on (see [1] :-) I would note that section 4.12.4.17 of the HTML5 spec says: ...values defined in this specification or marked as "proposed" or "ratified" must be accepted... and that the entry for "category tag" does have a Status of "proposed". So, despite the fact that the entry should not have that Status (because it is incomplete) I still think the validator is not in conformance with section 4.12.4.17 of the HTML5 spec and that this issue should be reopened...but I will leave that to you to decide.
