In this case we should look at the set of editors and try to see what
are the differences between them.
editor::specialized now contains: crossfire-edit, gmanedit,
imaze-xlabed, kbabel, kbabel-dev, manedit, poedit, potool, ted,
ted-common
I would remove editor::specialized from them, and:
put crossfile-edit in editors, games
put manedit and gmanedit in editors, manpage
put poedit, potool, kbabel and kbabel-dev in editors, i18n
ted and ted-common could maybe go with the other word processors
imaze-xlabed does not seem to belong to editors.
After all, "editors, manpage" is already a good description for a
specialized editor, and it also tells you in which sense specialization
goes.

dillo could go in "browser, lightweight", with the same rationale as for
editors above.

I guess so, but I look forward to it :)
Ciao! Enrico
