pour d'autres raisons, il arrive qu'un auteur publie le meme nom (base su=
r
le meme type) dans des publications differentes.
   Parmi ces publications, c'est la premiere parue effectivement qui
constitue la publication originale, les autres ne sont que des artefacts
bibliographiques.
   Ceci est une mauvaise pratique pour plusieurs raisons, specialement
parce que certains periodiques indiquent la date de parution sous forme d=
u
mois de publication (par exemple, mai 1995) d'autres sous une forme plus
precise (par exemple, 12 mai 1995). Dans ce cas, il est souvent impossibl=
e
de savoir laquelle des deux est prioritaire. C'est genant pour les
citations de publication originale, car dans le doute on est oblige d'en
citer deux ou plus.

   La nouvelle formulation (Tokyo) de l'article 46 est destinee a resoudr=

ce genre de probleme, en attribuant a son auteur reel un nom qui, sinon,

   Si Ker-Gawler a clairement cite le type de participation de Mr. Brown
dans l'elaboration du nom, l'article 46 s'applique et Mr. Brown est
l'auteur a citer. Donc pas de probleme.

   Oui, c'est une erreur dans une citation bibliographique au sens large.

   Non. Le Code est parfait !!!
