 As we all despise term_ids as it requires a id / taxonomy name pair, it's
 often nicer to use term_taxonomy_id as it's a much better identifier. This
 *should* mean it's not necessary to know the taxonomy of a given tt_id
 (just like one doesn't need to know the post_type of a post to get a post
 from ID). However, the $taxonomy param to get_term_by() is required.

 It seems to be it would be good to change $taxonomy to be not required in
 the cases of getting by tt_id with get_term_by().

 I'll write the code if anyone agrees this makes sense :)

 Apologies if that has ben addresses, I'm a bit out of the loop recently.
