using custom taxonomies on non wp table?

You can assign taxonomies to objects saved in tables other than the posts table. WordPress explicitly supports that (e.g. there is the function _update_generic_term_count to update the term count for those types of taxonomies) and even use it for links.

I have used it once.

Just register your taxonomies as you would for regular post types ( register_taxonomy( 'your_taxonomy', 'registration', $args ); ).

register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'your_taxonomy', 'registration' ) won’t work though. I need to fill a bug report for that… (well, that’s what I said to myself last time and I forgot… 🙂 )
