 > However, This may be a change between 2.9 and 3.0 (Just as it was a
 change between 2.8 and 2.9 reported here), The slugs are being set as
 unique across all taxonomies, and existing terms are not being re-used in
 different taxonomies (to inherit the same Name/slug)

 This did not happen in 2.9, so the issue was fixed there. It has started
 again in 3.0.

 There are no post tags in any of the installs (I don't use them), so it
 can't be finding a similar tag.

 The attached screenshot is from a clean install - no content added or
 changed after install, only 1 new category and 3 new subcategories. The
 parent slug is being appended to '''every''' subcategory created.

 To be sure it wasn't keying on the 'press' portion of the subcategory
 names (which it shouldn't), I added another subcategory 'hownowbrowncow',
 and the parent slug was appended to that as well.

 I can understand doing that if WordPress finds another category,
 subcategory, or post tag exists with the same name, but each of these
 subcategory names are unique, so the parent slug '''should not''' be
 appended to it.
