It seems the example ("General example" of the poster) is masked by
made-up names for taxa and authors and dates. It is much better to use
real names and dates to enable others to do accurate analysis.

A name that is unavailable from one publication can be made available
subsequently by 'anybody' for the same or a different concept. Whether
this is advisable is another matter, but this is the point I was making.
Like a nomen nudum unavailable name can be - see the code Glossary entry.
The principle must be the same. Or am I wrong? Whereas Art 33.3.1 only
concerns prevailing usage whether to use the original name or the
misspelling.

Cheers,
Geoff
