The nesting system of nomenclature suggested by many adherents of the
PhyloCode (not including myself, but including de Quieroz and Keesey)
defies the property of the nomenclature in general by using
mechanical elements without the sense of "real" nomenclature,
including the use of symbols or (sometimes) internal capitalization,
which just looks ODD and off-putting at first. But it seeks to set a
precedence for convention, and when THAT becomes prevalent,
regardless of whether it sets aside further nomenclature, we'll come
around to people who are forced to constrain their nomenclature
toward unimaginative and formulaic names.
My preference is that we are NOT constrained by automatic stem or
crown affices, nesting sets of suffices, etc. This means defying the
properties of the conventions being offered in lieu of the
conventions in place, and defying those as well.
