There are some initClass things that have to be done before moving on
to the StartUp functions (can't think of them offhand, but I know
they're there). My feeling is that any startup action that is not
absolutely required to be done first should be a StartUp function. I'm
not sure that rises to the level of "policy" but it seems logical to
me.

And yes, de-generic-ifying *categories makes sense since nobody but
the help system needs to be concerned with the help categories.
