Comment (by husobj):

 I have been doing some work relating to this but with post type archives.

 With post archives, the intended behaviour is currently that if a post
 type archive exists at the same URL as a page, then the archive is
 displayed. An example of this as expected behaviour is where you set the
 'blog' home page in WordPress Reading settings by selecting a page to use
 as page for posts (ie post archive page).

 I've been working on a plugin that would allows you to set post type
 archive URLs based on pages for custom post types (although at present
 they need to support it via a filter), and optionally allow you to display
 the content from the page with matching URL in the header of the post
 archive page above the posts.

 Terms current don't have a 'taxonomy' landing page so you can currently
 display terms as subpages of a page as mentioned by @scribu.

 If adding support for term archive (or taxonomy) pages, i would suggest
 they follow a similar principle to post types:

  - register_taxonomy() would have a 'has_archive' parameter.
  - any rewrite rules would supercede pages rules so a term archive would
 be displayed rather than an existing page.

 Just my thoughts... :)
