Comment (by nacin):

 A unregister_taxonomy() function needs to un-roll quite a bit:
  * Remove the query var from the WP class, if one was registered.
  * Remove any rewrite tags and permastructs.
  * Remove the callback for handling the meta box.

 A separate unregister_taxonomy_for_object_type() function needs to remove
 items from object_type.

 An unregister_taxonomy() function should disallow the unregistration of
 'post_tag' and 'category' until core does not assume they exist in many,
 many locations. The same block might also need to be in place in
 unregister_taxonomy_for_object_type() for the 'post' object type until
 core no longer breaks under any existing assumptions as well.
