Re: Platecarpus tympaniticus - how to analyze a nomen dubium
> OK, so that's a step in the right direction that addresses my last
comment. But PhyloCode will STILL turn into a free-for-all contest
to see who can get their name(s) attached to the most clade names,
which is unproductive.
I suppose that's one reason why Art. 4.2 of the PhyloCode _requires_
peer review for the valid publication of any nomenclatural act.

It is further likely that referees will take such things as Rec. 9B into
account.

And if you think I'm wrong about how this will turn out, I give you
TaxonSearch: great idea in concept, really poor in execution.
What has TaxonSearch got to do with the PhyloCode? It's Sereno's
alternative to the PhyloCode.
