well what we are trying to do is introduce a weighted sort for taxonomy

Sounds wuite specialized to me.
The weighting part
is easy. It would be nice to intercept the sql and rewrite it.
Otherwise it seems like the only way to do this is to duplicate the
taxonomy display code yada yada.
I think the only thing you'd need to duplicate is the taxonomy_term_page
function.
Is this a reasonable approach? Could db_rewrite_sql be jiggered
relatively easily?
I think it should be possible to introduce an "order by" element.
Needs some refactoring of db_rewrite_sql and _db_rewrite_sql.
