Clarification

After reading Ken's recent post along these lines, I realize that it is
legitimate to associate the word "classification" with nomenclature, in the
sense that the nomenclature is fundamentally what we use to represent a
classification.  However, I was conceptualizing the term "classification" in
the context of cladograms and such; i.e., as synonymous with "phylogenetic
relationships".  I think either interpretation of the term is legitimate,
but for purposes of clarity, please read my post with the understanding of
how I had intended to use the term "classification".
