It doesn't mean anything, it's just an alternative to /term/ to 
highlight that it works differently.

That's a better way to do it.

I wonder what flickr and del.icio.us do here. They allow both multi-word 
tags and tag addition in the filter. Since "+" is common url encoding 
for space, using it to mean "as well as" doesn't look right. But that's 
all just convention. How about
/taxonomy/vterm/Tags/horse%20riding+horse. Isn't that going to come 
through php as "horse riding horse" in a single variable?
