New description:

 And generally reduces possibilities for extending the taxonomy model. My
 plugin "Term Menu Order"  (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/term-menu-
 order/) allowed manual ordering of terms, which isn't possible given the
 method of sanitizing the order and orderby clauses. I totally get the
 potential security concerns -- maybe there's a way to sanitize the inputs
 that's a bit less draconian, though? The relevant changeset is r18344.
