XML, etc. [was Re: a grandiose but (hopefully) practical idea]

You all are correct the issue is not To be really @&$%ing but to have
automated the hierarchy for use in studies.

Why this discussion with Julian Humphries capitulated a medical response I
am waiting for an answer to nOW Wo but the taxonomist (of eny stripe on
purpose) should not have to wait for another Freeman Dyson lecture in the
Statler before doing taxonomy.  The naturalist is not dependent on
exploration of outer space just as the nartural historian is not dependent
on the accident.

I guess what I had in mind was that the search engine software for GBIF
would provide the Linnean Hierarchy for any/all fileable specimens.  I
pulled back from such a gradiose plan in 87 for only the specimens Museumed
under worm snakes seeking instead and on decision in philosophy or Croizat
to take only digitized Camera Lucida drawings and label rubbed info on X,Y
but the Administration (US or Cornell) never heard to this.  You do not
wait and neither do I. BSM.
