 Replying to [comment:3 kurtpayne]:
 > Is there a reason duplicate term checking in `wp_insert_term()` uses the
 slug instead of the name?

 Probably because you can't have duplicate slugs, but I'd expect there to
 also be a check for the name. I'm guessing there are probably back-compat
 concerns for people who have existing terms of both cases and that's why
 it's still allowed.
