And now to complete the conversational loop and point out the problems of categorizing demos via IAP, I point you right back to my original comment.

You do realize that a full unlock via IAP is basically the shareware approach?

Just because something has IAP doesn't make it bad. One has to look at how the app uses IAP instead.

How can you possibly reconcile the idea that demos would somehow beat out micro transactions if only they had their own category despite the fact that they fail living side by side with microtransactions?

beat out?

Discoverability is what the person is talking about, and it would indeed improve discoverability.
