I don't know of any for taxonomy, but quicksketch just released a CCK widget 
for nodereference that does something similar.  It could be worth looking 
into.

I would suggest being more flexible with your path string, though.  You want to 
be able to allow multiple terms to be added in the same vocabulary easily.
