Comment:

 > I can also justify any meaning for the public argument when I stare at
 it too long, so it may be that just documenting this here is enough. :)

 The history of this ticket is a great lesson in why we should not
 introduce function parameters with a `@todo implement` annotation. Without
 an enforced definition, please turn the parameter into whatever they'd
 like.

 That being said: As far as the admin/non-admin stuff is concerned, we
 ought to be consistent. [34247] made it so that `?taxonomy=foo&term=bar`
 worked on the admin even if `foo` is non-public. So we should do the same
 thing for `?foo=bar`. See [attachment:21949.4.diff]. @jeremyfelt Does this
 seem right to you?
