 <h2>NOTES</h2>
 
+Only features with category numbers will be considered. If required
+the <em>v.category</em> module can be used to add them. Typically
+boundaries do not need to be given a category number, as an area's
+attributes are inherited from the centroid. Typically points, lines, and
+centroids will always want to have a cat number.
+<p>
+e.g. take a road which separates two farms. It is ambiguous as to which
+farm an attribute that is attached to the road belongs to. The boundary
+only needs a cat number if it will hold its own attributes, such as road
+name or pavement form. A centroid in each paddock holds the information
+with respect to ownership, area, etc.
