22700	Walker_Category_Checklist should sometimes set the value as the term name	simonwheatley		"The `Walker_Category_Checklist` class has been partially adapted to work with taxonomies other than `category`, but it does not seem to cope with non-hierachical taxonomies.

For non-hierachical taxonomies, the HTML form elements (checkboxes, radios, dropdowns, whatever) need to set the term **name** as the value, not the ID… otherwise WordPress will cast the ID to a string and create a new term with that string as a name.

To see the problem:

* Use `Walker_Category_Checklist` to create a checkbox in a metabox on the post edit screen for a non-hierarchical taxonomy
* Add some terms to the taxonomy
* Check the box for the taxonomy and update the post
* Watch a new term appear with its name set to the ID of the term you checked
