Unfortunately it looks like the Drupal core developers did mess up a bit the new D7 permissions of the taxonomy module because of time constraints (http://drupal.org/node/340652). Permissions to edit and delete terms in specific vocabularies are now in core, but no permission to add terms to a vocabulary or use the current terms listing in the admin without granting a full "administer taxonomy" permission. IMHO the new core permissions are basically useless towards non-technical content managers, without putting extra efforts in exposing the URLs (through Views for example) of the individual term edit forms towards content managers.

mrfelton commented@Cyberwolf, there is another core issue #1034600: Split Taxonomy permissions into 'Vocabulary' and 'Terms' where a remedy to this is being discussed. Please add any thought s you might have on this matter in that ticket to help speed things up.

nancydruI doubt highly that there is any chance of that making D7.

cyberwolf commented@mrfelton thanks for the link. That one indeed seems like THE follow-up issue of what was eventually dropped from #340652: Edit/delete terms permission per vocabulary
