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.
