[wp-hackers] Category/Tag/Taxonomy Meta Data

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

At present there is no Term metadata available in Core WP. A number of
plugins I've run accross store the metadata as a serialised string inside
the Description element for the term, A few others create their own metadata
table.

There is a Trac ticket for adding Taxonomy Metadata:
