+1. Displaying a talk tab could simply be one of two (or more) display options. There could also be a "back to node" link on the talk page.

It's actually a bit of a problem to try to remove the tab :(
If we use MENU_CALLBACK as the menu type then the tab disappears, but when you go to node/NID/talk *all* of the tabs disappear because Drupal forgets where you are relative to the other menu items. If we could figure out a way keep those tabs, I think this could be a good solution.
If you just use an empty "title" value for the menu callback as a local task, then it displays as empty which helps to diminish the display, but frankly it just looks silly/ugly. On some browsers having an empty string as the link disappears (safari) but I don't think we should rely on that, exactly...
I'm not sure of a good way to fix this.

After working on the access check I had a crazy idea on how to do this.
Attached patch makes it work, but it _does_ show the talk tab when on the "node/NID/talk" page. Does that still seem valuable? The reason it has to show the tab on that page is because of the results of the research in comment #2.
