So taxonomy fits the "classification of things". I've found the word taxonomy used within the categorization of product items.
Vocabulary is an overloaded term, and hence confusing.
I agree that vocabulary is confusing and needs to be changed. There have been many suggestions but perhaps taxonomy class would be best.
Renaming vocabulary would require a lot of API changes (renaming functions, renaming database columns, etc.), so let's not even consider that for Drupal 6. We can revisit renaming it to "taxonomy.module, taxonomies, terms" in a few months. :-)
Renaming the user interface does not necessarily mean that the programmer's API be changed. As far as I am concerned, vid and tid should stay the way they are, just the "vocabulary" becomes something else that is a single word uncommon term. -- Khalid M.
