 > Doh. Low priority. So what do we do until a solution is found? Can you
 guys propose a 'fix', maybe using taxonomies?

 there is none, short of not using the taxonomy api. basically, the way the
 taxonomy api is designed, a term lives by itself, and it can be part of
 several taxonomies... once. the abstract way to say this is: the taxonomy
 API is hugely wrong in that it amounts to modeling nodes, rather than node
 links as it should.

 I've set low priority simply because it seems rather clear to me, based on
 core dev discussions, that changing this is low priority indeed. Changing
 the way it works requires significant schema and API changes, I don't see
 this happening anytime soon.
