Hmmm....Was the following paragraph added to the blog post later?
 
"In contrast to these attempts the Bacteriological Code (ICNB) has an effective registration system that has been in place for nearly thirty years. All bacteria names have to either be in the Approved Lists of bacteriological names published in 1980 or published in the Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology."

Having had many, many spirited discussions with Roger on this topic, I can attest that he certainly is aware of and fully understands the difference.
 
Roger: I've left a comment on the blog itself.
