 model new callbacks after. And I'd love to see that happen.

 If we're headed for a future where WP provides more than just two meta box
 callbacks for taxonomies, then we may want to opt for something a bit more
 sophisticated here than an if/else toggle. I'm thinking something like a
 `meta_box_save_cb` alongside `meta_box_cb`. We'll have an internal matrix
 that can be used to provide default mappings of `meta_box_cb` to
 `meta_box_save_cb`:

 {{{
 // register_taxonomy()
 if ( null === $args['meta_box_save_cb'] ) ) {
     switch ( $args['meta_box_cb'] ) {
         case 'post_categories_meta_box' :
             $args['meta_box_save_cb'] = 'meta_box_save_cb_checkboxes';
         break;

         case 'post_tags_meta_box' :
         default:
             $args['meta_box_save_cb'] = 'meta_box_save_cb_input';
         break;

     }
 }
 }}}

 The format of `tax_input` and the corresponding validation required will
 look a bit different for `select`, `multiselect`, `radio`, so they should
 each probably get their own `meta_box_save_cb`. This provides that
 framework. Thoughts?
