[development] Human readable taxonomy URLs

[Dave Cohen]

You could generate technorati friendly URLs, without the overhead of pathauto 
by generating a path like "taxonomy/term/15/ipod" or 
"taxonomy/term/16/Gravity".  That is, just append the human readable term 
when generating the link.  In many cases Drupal's menu system would show the 
desired page without any changes.  (Those cases being where the callback does 
not expect args).
