Greetings,
As I am a big fan of such modules as taxonomy, taxonomy_context and taxonomy_menu I'd like to propose you a new feature - output taxonomy context on 'taxonomy_menu' pages as it was done for 'taxonomy/term' pages.
I found that taxonomy_menu module is very useful for e-commerce sites - it is a single normal way to display taxonomy structure as a menu which is a greate feature to display product catalogs. The only problem - there is no way to display subterms for taxonomy_menu pages.
I propose to add this feature to give taxonomy_menu users an ability to browse pages exactly like taxonomy/term does.
Thank you.

ardas CreditAttribution: ardas commentedHere is the result of my analysis:
"taxonomy_menu/XXXX" pages are similar to "term/XXXX" - they display nodes of the chosen term. Taxonomy_menu module has 2 advantages:
1. It can display nodes from child terms (descendants)
2. It can output terms structure in a menu block which extremely necessary for e-commerce sites when you want to have a menu of product categories
But, it also has 2 disadvantages:
1. There was no integration with nodewords (I've written a proposal, it is fixed already)
2. There is no integration with taxonomy_context module
I hope this improvement will be useful for many developers.
It gives a power of taxonomy_menu, taxonomy_context and nodewords modules combination. E-commerce site developers will understand me.
Thank you.

ardas CreditAttribution: ardas commented... and here are my fixes I did in 4.6 ... I saw that 4.7 goes far away but the idea is the same:
function taxonomy_context_get_context()
Add the following case into switch:
AND
function taxonomy_context_help($section)
Change if (arg(0) == 'taxonomy') to:
Thank you.

nedjoI like the idea but haven't had a chance to test it (I've never used taxonomy_menu). I would welcome a patch for the 4.7 version.
