* has this been discussed with the authors of the names, and with the 
editors of Science? Someone could publish a little note, perhaps about 
depositing copies of the Science appendices in 10 libraries, in such a 
way that the names would retain the original authorship *in* the 
publication of the correction.

I know this isn't a structural correction, but it would alert Science to 
the problem, and deal with the present case.
