This won't work, as it would require the "addWhere" property to have 
stdWrap enabled, which isn't the case. There might be a future version 
of vge_tagcloud with stdWrap enable every where (just like TYPO3 4.5), 
but it's not in my plans yet.

However I wonder whether you really need vge_tagcloud for what you're 
trying to achieve. If you want to get a list of keywords for a given 
news category, you could probably achieve this with a RECORDS object.

Something like (assuming your keywords are comma-separated):

lib.foo = RECORDS
lib.foo {
	source.data = register:newsCategoryUid
	tables = tt_news_cat
	conf.tt_news_cat = TEXT
	conf.tt_news_cat {
		field = tx_catdesc_keywords
		split.token = ,
		split.1.current = 1
			# Put some typolink on the current keyword
		split.1.typolink...
	}
}

I imagine that your keywords all have the same weight (i.e. each appears 
once per news category), so you don't derive any real advantage from 
using vge_tagcloud.
