"Something like this is apparently missing in the specification" is a
reason to fix specification, not to use X-.

X- categories might be useful for special menu systems (like GNOME
control center, YaST), not the main application menu.

For now choose "random" category and wait for something useful.

The process of adding category is not simple. It requires specification
change, assigning of drawer in the menu systems and a new icon for it
from artists.
