 IMHO there is an logic problem with taxonomy:

 category (tag) '''name''' is defined in wp_terms table

 category (tag) '''slug''' is defined in wp_terms table, but

 category (tag) '''description''' is defined in wp_term_taxonomy table

 this is IMHO problem in logic, i do not see any reason for spliting it in
 different tables and it can be problem for some future needs e.g. if
 someone (as me now) would need to have more parents for one category.
 It would be only logic if it would be possible to define one term as tag
 AND as category AND as link_category with one name but with different
 descriptions (but i do not see a point of such need)
