In the beginning of 2006 I have started to develop module called
friendly_url. Its features are:
* Extends custom_url_rewrite functionality.
* Friendly user URLs: user/1.* --> user/root.* (e.g. user/1/edit -->
user/root/edit).
 root - was the name of user. If friendly_url module is enabled then users
can't register with login names that will be encoded in URL.
* Nodes URLs: When user adds new node he can specify a friendly URL - which
can't be number or some of the forbidden names (forbidden URLs are fetched
using hook_url_rewrite_forbidden().)
* Taxonomy URLs: same as nodes.
* Taxonomy_menu URLs.
* Friendly URL caching.

Taxonomy_menu provides special rewrite from taxonomy/term/* to hierarchical
taxonomy_menu/<voc_name>/<term_friendly_url>/<term_friendly_url>. Also
taxonomy_menu/<voc_name>/<term_name>/<term_name>/depth/0 etc. was
implemented for feeds.
Also, taxonomy_menu can be striped from the URL.
e.g. I have a
taxonomy_menu/articles/artificial-intelligence/neural-networks. --->
articles/artificial-intelligence/neural-networks.
(where articles is the friendly url of vocabulary.)

Maybe this ways can be helpful for developing a hierarchical taxonomy URLs.
