That's a very good point - each category could have a partitioned off
section for "Images in this category" as seperate from "Articles in
this category", with no extra work on the user's part.

I was also going to suggest that one benefit of having separate image
categories is that they could be displayed as auto-thumbnailed
galleries, rather than lists of links. I guess even this could be done
within the existing structure - although it would become even *more*
important to have a decent multi-page results system...
