Comment (by majelbstoat):

 Yeah, to be honest, we don't need that lookup table at all.  Because I
 restructured the term_relationships table to an int join, we only store
 the taxonomy string in one place and we don't ever need to join on
 taxonomy type.  In fact, adding a lookup table will needlessly complicate
 things now that I think about it, and is probably a good case of over-
 normalisation.  I'll refactor the functions to just accept a taxonomy
 string and add a bit more functionality to the WPTaxonomy class to flesh
 it out a bit.  When the basics are there, we'll have to start reworking
 the category API internals.  Speaking of which, did you have any comments
 on the right/left structure for hierarchical data from the above link?
 This is the right time to implement it, if we're going to...
