Comment (by squeeky):

 like i said, i'm not there yet - and still am as ignorant as i was with
 the "auto-flush" idea...

 BUT > hmmm -- good question...

 i have yet to see an "out of box" theme incorporate all three > a
 category, a tag and a custom term - and i would imagine such would not be
 done by the average user - but instead would be done by a more advanced
 user > where as i said someone could still "seek/find/code" to get EXACTLY
 what they want (how they want it)

 let me say i am looking for "out of the box" functionality < that does not
 interfere with the current defaults

 but you are right - this would be trickier ...

 AGAIN - i am not on this stuff right now - and i am avoiding changing the
 current defaults as much as i can --- BUT this might be a case where
 defaults functionality could be changed

 specifically :::::::::: MAYBE...

 only use the_category() for cat-like tax / tag-like for the_tags() -- and
 only for for custom pt --- hmmm (i wonder..)

 but more importantly - for the_category() and the_tags() > perhaps an
 additional parameter to close enhanced custom tax handling

 > the above logic is this

 - if someone's skills are advanced enough to head in and and add
 the_terms() to templates / then they're skills are advanced enough to add
 a parameter the_category() and/or the_tags()

 maybe something like :
 {{{
 function the_tags( $before = null, $sep = ', ', $after = '', expand = true
 )
 }}}

 THEN at least the people who don't have the skills to do this kind of
 stuff can still enjoy such features

 finally > please again, understand i'll need to look into this first >
 else i'll toss out ideas like "auto-flush" in cookies ;)
