That said, I proposed a concept of "mappings" a few times. I know that at that time Karoly liked the concept.
<code> hook_mapping() { $mappings[] = array( '#map' => '%screwdriver/details/%foo', '#variables' => array( '%foo' => 'bar', '%screwdriver' => toolbox(), ) ) } <code>
I looked at the pathauto module and it is way too complex, and still too restricting at the same time. The idea of having mappings is interesting, but it's just an idea at this point. It's not clear how this can be implemented efficiently, or how it can co-exist with the current URL aliasing system. Certainly worth exploring though. All I want is to make it easier to create and edit the URL aliases for taxonomy terms (tags). I don't mind to think of a name myself, but I do mind the fact that it is such a pain to create the alias. If you add 3 new tags, it will take you 24 clicks or something. On the node submission form it is really easy to create aliases and I use it all the time. When creating new nodes, I haven't missed the pathauto module one second.

You could look at pathauto module and see if it already provides automatic aliases for taxo terms. If it does not it should be fairly easy to add. I don't think that alias generation should be tied directly into taxonomy.module.
I think it could potentially benefit from better URL alias integration. Like, on the 'list terms' page (administration section), it would be very convenient if you could add/edit/maintain your term's URL aliases in batch mode. It sounds like a much more interesting feature than say, the synonym terms support or the related terms support. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
