[Taxacom] Indelible Ink

[Richard Zander]

Well, computers can be used to make lots of neatly printed hard copies,
all or some a little different. We need to identify those situation that
matter, and find a way to conserve them. At some point, say if there are
many or a few egregious problems, it looks like registration or some
other central archive will be necessary.
