'theme("function")' instead of '$theme->function()'.  Hopefully I didn't
  break anything.  If I did, let me know.

  The following modules need special attention (but should still work as is):

  1. The ldap_integration directory has its own user.module; I haven't updated
     the documentation bit that talks about themes.

  2. The hotlist module uses '$theme->hotlist_del_icon'.  Should be avoided
     and somehow wrapped in a (larger) call to theme().

  3. The image module has its own way of doing what 'theme()' does (or the
     former 'theme_invoke()').  Constructs like the one below (a) look wrong
     and (b) should be rewritten to properly use 'theme()'.  For example:

     $theme->box("foo", method_exists("bar") ? $theme->bar() : $bar);

     Search for "image_gallery_album", "image_gallery_home" and
     "image_thumb_browser".  I've already changed '$theme->box()' to
     'theme()'.

  4. The sidebar module uses '$theme->foreground' and '$theme->background'.
     Should be avoided and somehow wrapped in a (larger) call to theme().

  5. The org_informations module uses '$theme->separator()', which is new to
     me.

  6. The taxonomy_filter module uses '$theme->taxolist_filter_item()'.  It
     should use 'theme("taxolist_filter_item")' instead.  I haven't changed
     it because it would probably fail to resolve the default function if
     not overridden by a theme.

  7. The taxonomy_dhtml module's INSTALL file still talks about
     '$theme->image'.

  8. The xloadtree module's INSTALL file still talks about '$theme->image'.

  9. I haven't updated the style.module; too many $theme's, though I don't
     think it needs any updates.

  [I'll try to update the sandboxes later on.]

This module adds several HTML representations of site's taxonomy. This is useful for enabling users to browse your site according to topics of their own interest

Specifically, this module adds a Block for each vocabulary and an Overview page listing all terms and vocabularies. Node counts for each term are also shown beside each term link or in a help tip (aka title attribute).

The idea behind this new module, instead of adding these features to taxonomy.module, is to keep taxonomy.module clean and let admins play with the HTMl generated by taxonomy_html as desired. Think of taxonomy.module as the API or engine and this module as a UI generator.
