9546	Taxonomy - Reserved words - Questions ?	michelwppi	ryan	"Today, some words are reserved to build taxonomy - (''category'', ''post_tag'', ''link_category'')... and these taxonomies are essentially done for grouping posts as described at the top of taxonomy.php script in wp-includes folder.

{{{
$wp_taxonomies['category'] = (object) array('name' => 'category', 'object_type' => 'post', 'hierarchical' => true, 'update_count_callback' => '_update_post_term_count');

}}}

To avoid future conflicts and database problems, is it possible to reserve another words in an official ""registering catalog"" ?

 Since 2.3, for plugins like [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xili-language xili-language], '''language''' and '''dictionary''' are used. 

In lastest [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xili-tidy-tags/ xili-tidy-tags] plugin, xili-tidy-tags taxonomy ('''xili_tidy_tags''') was created to build (thematic or lingual) groups of tags. 
So the second arg is term as here below :

{{{
/* add new taxonomy in available taxonomies */
		register_taxonomy( TAXOTIDYTAGS, 'term',array('hierarchical' => true, 'update_count_callback' => ''));
}}}


The default get_terms functions provided by wp cannot be used here because the target object is a term, it's why, a function -get_terms_of_groups- was added in the plugin like xili-tidy-tags

get_terms_of_groups - line 947 

[http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/xili-tidy-tags/tags/0.9.1/xili-tidy-tags.php here-source]

What will be happen if others use these words ?




'''Suggestions for reserved taxonomy words:''' 

- prefix of four letters (like the unique ID of apps in mac os since his origin) attributed for a plugin developer when he open his account. (''prefix can also be used for constants'')

- a registering catalog as domain name, first registered, first attributed,..."	feature request	closed	high		Taxonomy		normal	wontfix	taxonomy reserved words
