If the categories already exist, then I don't have to create them. If they don't, they are created (and I manage the new categories afterwards).

Drawback of this method is if there is already a child category, that child is "promoted" to a parent.

And sometimes I have a list of tags that I want to use as categories, and I can just copy/paste.

* already exists as a parent - marks it as categorized
* already exists as a child - changes the child to a parent and then marks it categorized.
* doesn't exist - marks it as a parent and categorized

Is that right? If so, means we can't just copy the categories in on one line, but have to manually check off each child category.

After you pushlish, just switch over to Manage -> categories and change it.

You have to add it as a main category and then edit it under Manage->Categories.
