[Taxacom] Important note Re: two names online published -onenew species

[Stephen Thorpe]

LOL! You are right, but so am I! I am right that the example is nonsensical! Why? Because registering an online work on ZooBank after it has been published ALWAYS means that the work is unavailable earlier than the registration date. It matters not one whit whether the author stated in the work any registration date or any other sort of evidence for the preregistration that never happened! As examples go, this one is highly misleading, introducing an obvious general point by way of a specific red herring! The Code is full of such confusing nonsense.

 EXACTLY!
 
 The whole point of the example is that he stated a
 registration date as 
 proof in the work, but totally forgot to register it at
 Zoobank until AFTER 
 publication. The important word in 8.5.3.3 is "before" in
 the last sentence.
