Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Hi @mboynes - Rereading the above, I think I misunderstood what was being
 suggested. Rewrite rules and query vars are registered separately. And
 post types do indeed use the technique you've suggested for deciding
 whether to register the query var - they use the new
 `is_post_type_viewable()`.

 We still need to keep some logic in `parse_request()` to detect whether
 the nonpublic taxonomy is set as the value of 'taxonomy' - this can't be
 handled at the time that the taxonomy is registered. It's a bit awkward to
 have the 'public' protection in two different places depending on the
 query var structure, but I think it's what we have to do if we want to
 allow the registration of custom query vars that match nonpublic taxonomy
 names. See [21949.3.diff].
