Comment:

 I agree with @ericmann. This issue need to be addressed. It's not
 intuitive, and it hurts WordPress's reputation as a CMS.

 If you can't bluntly change this for fear of breaking plugins, how about
 adding `is_taxonomy` that works like it should. And warn developers of
 deprecating `is_tax()` in a few versions.
