 register_taxonomy_for_object_type checks that the object type is a
 post_type object, and will not let you register the taxonomy for the
 object type if it is not:

 http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 includes/taxonomy.php#L475

 During discussion with nacin on IRC relating to #11058 he suggesting
 removing the get_post_type_object check from the new
 unregister_taxonomy_from_object_type function since it didn't seem to be
 sensible.

 This ticket is open to investigate the restriction in
 register_taxonomy_for_object_type and see if it can also be removed.

 Patch attached in case the collective wisdom decides that it is
 unnecessary.
