The situation:

I have a bunch of Terms in the Term Store and a list that uses them.

A lot of the terms have not been used yet, and are not available yet in the TaxonomyHiddenList. If they are not there yet they don't have an ID, and I can not add them to a list item.

There is a method GetWSSIdOfTerm on Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomyField that's supposed to return the ID of a term for a specific site.

This gives back IDs if the term has already been used and is present in the TaxonomyHiddenList, but if it's not then 0 is returned.

Is there any way to programmatically add terms to the TaxonomyHiddenList or force it happening?
