Taxonomy Menu Grid with Images

I like the Taxonomy List and Taxonomy Image modules so much that I would like to use them in 4 instances. I like the list that Taxonomy List generates - a list that excludes terms with no content. I like that the child terms are always visible (not collapsed). I like the integration of Taxonomy List and Taxonomy Image.

The 4 projects / instances:

1. Grid Menu of taxonomy terms:
display ~100px x ~100 px images associated with parent terms,
display parent term title and child term titles,
group image + parent + children for placement on page and theme-ing,
display grouped element as a grid on the page.

2. Vertical Menu of taxonomy terms:
display ~20px x ~20 px images associated with parent terms,
display parent term title and child term titles,
group image + parent + children for placement on page and theme-ing,
display grouped element as a cascade in a block.

3. Use Taxonomy Image alone to display same vocabulary's taxonomy image at the head of the category page.

4. Use Taxonomy Image alone to display another vocabulary's taxonomy images in the associated nodes.

This feature request is only for project #1 - Grid Menu of Taxonomy Terms. I included all 4 projects to keep in mind that there will be multiple instances of Taxonomy List. So, each instance will need to be able to be formatted without overwriting the other. The Multiblock Module and displaying Taxonomy List using taxonomy_list_show($str_vids, $max_depth, $op, $columns) in a node are options to keep open. Have not figured out how to make Taxonomy List blocks multiblock enabled, though I could copy them.

Here is what I'd like the Grid Menu to look like (hopefully it will look the same on your screen):

||Image........||..............||Image.......||.........||Image........||
||Parent text||..............||Parent text||.........||Parent text||
||Child text...||..............||Child text..||.........||Child text...||

The problem: I have not been able to place the Image/parent/child group horizontally. The image/parent group can be displayed horizontally by increasing the number of cells per row. But, when child terms are displayed, only children can have more than one cell per row. Tried latest recommended release and dev of module, but was not able to get at the image/parent/child elements to place or theme them as a group. I believe there is an image/parent/child group element in the Taxonomy List module - but I can't get at it to place it on the page.

Possible solution: Wrap the image/parent/child group in an element that can be displayed horizontally. Elements would be a fixed width each. Elements would be themeable as a group and not overwrite other instances. Would like to display the maximum number of elements for the screen or wrapper width, with elements wrapping to the next line upon overflow (floated and inline, not cells in a table).

I noticed that there have not been any commits on Taxonomy List for a long time. Does this module have a maintainer? What are the plans for D7?

Thank you again for Taxonomy List and integrating it with Taxonomy Image.
