I lean towards staying tightly bound with taxonomy and making the change to 
core.  A comment saying why this is the only uid mention should be sufficient 
for anyone modifying core in the future.

I see a lot of advantages to staying tightly bound with taxonomy.  The only 
disadvantage I worry about is ultimate taxo/folkso performance when both are 
in heavy use on a site.  And that's just a knee-jerk reaction; have not looked 
at the code and SQL.
