Comment (by MikeSchinkel):

 Replying to [comment:4 dd32]:
 > Rather, anyone who is listing taxonomies, should probably only list what
 makes sense in their context - for example, only showing taxonomies with
 `public => true`.

 Sadly, that does not follow
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle '''Postel's Law''']:

 > ''Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from
 others

 Depending on others to do what they ''"should"'' be doing, especially in
 the WordPress plugin and theme ecosystem, is just asking for trouble.
 Much better for a developer to take steps to ensure someone else can't
 create a problem rather than hope that they do not.
