This is the diligent new user's first guide to taxonomy.  I can see it 
tries very hard to explain a complicated concept.  I don't really 
understand it myself, but one comment.

This section, under advanced: Using hierarchies:
============================================================

For example, the vocabulary Food could include the following categories 
and subcategories:

    * Dairy
          o Milk
    * Drink
          o Alchohol
                + Beer
                + Wine
          o Pop
          o Milk
    * Meat
          o Beef
          o Chicken
          o Lamb
    * Spices
          o Sugar

==================================

While I could understand this example if we were, for example, making 
Mother Earth's Cookbook, we're all here to make a website.  Make the 
examples *website* related.  It makes it easier to understand because it 
puts things in the perspective of what the user probably wants to do.  I 
see many, and have made a few myself, requests for examples of 
taxonomy.  Why not give some *concrete* examples here?

One thing I have always thought of as a good idea would be examples that 
show how drupal.org itself makes use of taxonomy.  It makes more sense, 
I think, when you see it in action.
