Hi, I have a client/site with a few Huge (yes, capital 'H'; and still growing) taxonomy tree. I need to fix the UI for this too. Maybe Chris Messina, I and others, can work out the agreements from the Useability sprint, and actually code something for this? I will first focus on getting the notes and agreements of tis sprint together & online, but in the mean time this taxo-interface issue can be launched. Because IMO the whole taxonomy admin is a UI problem. Chris, can you get back to me about this? Anyone else with some interface-ideas and some time, please volunteer?

This 1000 tag thing. I've found vocabularies with a tree of 100 tags a bit awkward to use. The Admin vocab overview gets very long and the few places where you have all tags for a vocab in a combo box will also get awkward to use.
This sounds like something that UI can overcome. I agree with the Admin vocab overview length issue, but if you use system vocabs, the folksonomy could have it's own admin display for this.
Tag-per-line or comma-separated tags would be the preferred input, would they not? so I don't see the terms every necessarily being displayed in a combo box.
I think that aiming to be able to implement folksonomies with our existing taxonomy system is a good thing to strive for, even if it means code changes to taxo.module to encompass this use.
Now all we need to do is have aggregator create feed_item nodes, add a little publish/subscribe/workflow magic to delete/update them, and we can replace the strange "categories" used there with taxonomy as well... (let me dream, OK?)
Hmm. And if profiles were nodes, you could "tag" users by tagging their associated profile(s).
