 I discovered today that these functions only support the taxonomy
 'category'. Can I suggest something along the following lines so that a
 custom taxonomy can easily be used?:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
         function get_cat_name( $cat_id, $tax_type ) {
                 $cat_id = (int) $cat_id;
                 if ( isset($tax_type) ) $tax_type = $tax_type;
                         else $tax_type = 'category';
                 $category = get_term( $cat_id, $tax_type );
                 if ( ! $category || is_wp_error( $category ) )
                         return '';
                 return $category->name;
         }
 }}}

 {{{#!php
 <?php
         function get_cat_link( $category, $tax_type ) {
                 if ( ! is_object( $category ) )
                         $category = (int) $category;
                 if ( isset($tax_type) ) $tax_type = $tax_type;
                         else $tax_type = 'category';
                 $category = get_term_link( $category, $tax_type );
                 if ( is_wp_error( $category ) )
                         return '';
                 return $category;
         }
 }}}
