 > Well, the term description is within the taxonomy, so that wouldn't flow
 over. I realize that someone may want to change the slug for one of them
 and manually have different slugs, and if it were shared, this could not
 be. However, maybe this should be optional.

 I agree. If you force the slug to be unique across all terms, then why
 keep the wp_terms table at all? You might as well move the slug to
 wp_term_taxonomy.
