[Taxacom] e-publishing in botany also formally accepted at IBC.

[Jim Croft]

The date of effect is 1 Jan 2012, I guess a respectable interval to give
people time to line up ducks, or whatever it is they have to do to deal with
a brave new world.

No idea how long it takes to edit and print (ugh! such an ugly and passe
word these days) the new edition of the code.  Somehow, I don't think those
with elecrons poised are going to be worrying too much. :)
