indeed unfortunate ... but the informatics worked for 'my' names Rod ...
in the best traditions of Blue Peter - it was prepared earlier!

Pity that with such a milestone in botanical taxonomy, none of the
informatics works. The names aren't in IPNI, the LSIDs have no data, and
the stated means for resolving the LSIDs fails (appending them to
http://ipni.org/
  gets a 404). See
http://iphylo.blogspot.com/2010/05/linnaeus-meets-internet-plos-botany.h
tml
  for details.

Given that the whole point of this paper is to promote electronic
publication of names, it's unfortunate that none of the links to names
actually work (as of now).

Regards

Rod
