I'll rephrase that then, WHAT EXACTLY does /taxonomy-name-here/ do? I mean, 
at the end of the day you could have 100's of these setup, so assisting with 
internal rewrite rules is still going to create a huge long list am I not 
right? - Which defeats the purpose?

So moving away from what it does, why can't we take advantage of it, and 
make it useful? I had an interesting discussion with Michael Fields earlier 
on about it, and he completely agrees! You can take a look at what was said 
from @wpkid which is me, and @_mfields which is Michael. If it's got to be 
included, then something can be done to enhance it, but still keep it to 
greatly assist in some internal rewrite rules that nobody seems to be 
explaining, but I'm sidetracking now!
