Comment (by stephenh1988):

 Replying to [comment:90 husobj]:
 > It's also worth noting here that in a lot of plugins I've seen that add
 meta for taxonomies, the metadata is stored against the term_id.

 I think normally plug-ins doing this are adding in a meta table for a
 specific taxonomy. In general, yes it would require the `term_taxonomy_id`
 to be used - unfortunately, the taxonomy API passes around term-taxonomy
 pairs rather than the `term_taxonomy_id`.

 [comment:50 Nacin] mentioned earlier that for that reason the API needs to
 'grow'. I heard via twitter that a (long) roadmap was draw up. Sounded
 like it involved several table reshuffles... My point is that as eager as
 I am to see this in core - there is no immediate solution :(.
