[Taxacom] Indelible Ink

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.

Yes, for anybody really committed to "beating the Code" technology offers
ever more opportunity. IIRC there was a move to disallow photocopying,
laserprinting, etc as means of effective publication.

I assume you would favor a central archive that would put digital copies on
the web of all new publications containing nomenclatural novelties? That
does have a certain appeal. In fact an such an archive could be started on a
voluntary basis, with authors contributing .pdf's of their work; if this
proves to work well you might start thinking about making it mandatory.
