Steps to reproduce: Let a drupal newbie configure taxonomy.
In addition to improve the help text, offer some vocabularys by default as an example. This would help the user to understand the taxonomy system a lot (aka "A vocabulary is no category"). This was suggested at [1]

Bevan commentedThis will probably be part of install profiles. I'm not sure if the general developer community would accept any vocab configuration as default. Perhaps freetagging?
