I don't like the current taxonomy system. I just want a tree where I can attach nodes to and let drupal build the complete navigation structure. Another disadvantage of the taxonomy system is also that building real breadcrumbs is very costly (due to recursion). Yesterday, I started a module (named ouline) that uses a nested tree instead of taxonomy to classify content. At the moment it is already capable of building a breadcrumb with one single query:
Outline sounds good. As noted elsewhere, looking at/working on Allie's hier.module is probably a good thing (chx has done some work, too, I think). I wanted to note that I believe that using the current taxonomy for outlines (taxonomy menu, etc.) is a bad practice (i.e. the reverse of a best practice). If it were me, I would recommend using a book outline...except we don't have book-outline-on-the-fly. Both breadcrumbs and menus get generated consistently and correctly when using a book outline.
