Taxonomy Suggestion Accepter

A while back a client asked for the ability to accept taxonomy term (category) suggestions on his Drupal site. It's not what Community-Managed Taxonomy is meant for, but it's a potential application to keep in mind. Here's that request (that didn't go anywhere) and notes from the time:

I would like a module that creates an action to add a taxonomy term. I am trying to distribute the maintenance of the taxonomy for the site and give users the ability to suggest new terms. This can be for one or multiple vocabularies. I understand that freetagging can create new terms but this doesn't work for a hierarchy of terms. I want to create a node in cck that allows the users to select the parent taxonomy term, suggest a new term, and description/reason. I then want to be able to incorporate that into a workflow that allows an area (taxonomy term) administrator to approve the post which creates the new term in the proper location in the taxonomy hierarchy. I know how to do the cck and workflow portion, I need help with the code to create the taxonomy term in the hierarchy.

I want to take the term and parent from a form and use it to create the taxonomy. What I need is a new action which will give me the ability to create the term. I will then setup a workflow for a user so that they can approve post of taxonomy term suggest and it creates the term.
