Questions about the category option in __openerp__.py are:
What is the list of valid category names?
Why should I put a specific category in my module?
Can I put multiple categories?

We can see some other category not listed in server/openerp/addons/base/module/module_data.xml
Here is the little command I did to get that information
grep -rni category */__openerp__.py | cut -d":" -f4 | cut -d"," -f1 | tr -d "[',\"]" | sort | uniq -c
The module category list is loaded from the file server/openerp/addons/base/module/module_data.xml.
You can also see it querying the ir_module_category Postgres table. This is what I found:
seq name

And since the category_id is a many2one field, no, you can't have more than one category for a module. Choose the most representative one (under which top menu will most of the menu options be?).
Daniel, Your answer is good, about where to find the list of category. However, you will find many modules, even in example that are registered in their __openerp__.py with multiple category. eg. any localization module.
'category': 'Localization/Account Charts'
For v6.1 those modules are tagged in multiple categories to be available on apps.openerp.com on multiple tags.
When you use a category which does not exist in your addon's manifest, it will be added in ir_module_category.
The module category could also be used for creating 'applications' (with security groups linked to the category). It can be interesting to approach this point.
Its an old question. Maybe helpful for new developers
