[Taxacom] the zoological code and online publications

Fri Mar 21 20:29:44 CDT 2014

Steven, I agree, we must have a better system to access all nomenclatural
acts. However, ICZN only requires registrations of e-only publications
where new names are proposed, in order for these naves became available.
There is nothing in the code about registration synonymies

Cheers,

Vlad
