NPC AI Adjustments:

Level 60 players with the taunt skill will now have a chance to taunt creatures that are level 60 to 65. Previously, players could only taunt creatures below their level.

The above would indicate that the current taunt method that is implemented with one of the recent patches on here is incorrect.

I see your evidence and raise you better evidence:

Taunt: Increased effectiveness above level 50. Previously, creatures above level 50 could not be taunted by means of the taunt skill. Now, most creatures below the character's level can now be successfully taunted. As a note, the chance to taunt a creature above 50th level is smaller than that of a creature below 50th.

So you have to wait for 7 months after Kunark release.
