Greetings
I've created a newspaper workflow model where stories can be categorised according to where they are in the chain -- "new", "subbed", "revised", "on page". How do I display a list of stories based on where they are in the workflow? For example, I want to see all of the stories that are "subbed".
I'm probably going to smack myself after getting the answer.
Many thanks,
-Kanthan.

navigate to www.example.com/taxonomy/term/xx (clean URLs) where xx corresponds to the IDnumber of the taxonomy term ("category" in you post) you have used for "new" or "subbed"...
You might want to create a menu where the items point to the taxonomy terms (the Taxonomy menu module enables you to do a few more sophisticated things in this area if you need them).
Also, when you click on the taxonomy term at the top of the posts you will linked to a page which lists all posts with that term.
If you want loads of flexibility on how to present your stories then go for the Views module. Overkill if all you want is what you've said above but there's capability to do very interesting things with Views.
but the Workflow module does
but the Workflow module does not appear to have taxonomy terms associated with each state. Or am I missing something?
I misunderstood your initial question
Workflow doesn't seem to have a built in mechanism to achieve your goal. You could post a support request against that module which sometimes gets the attention of more expert users of the module.
Or you can just look at using the Views module.
Creating a view to do this is pretty easy. Once you've installed the views module just create a new view that has workflow:state included. A table view looks like it might be a good start. If you have a filter for workflow state you'll be able to get the view to show you all the nodes in any given state.
