Taxacom: Clarification RE e-publication (zoology) - new name has ZooBank LSID (or doesn't), publication does not

Dear Rich, all,

Now I do see that there is something in the Code Online that covers this
situation:
----------------
*Examples.* Evidence of registration is given by stating information that
would be known only if the registration has occurred, such as the exact
date of registration or the registration number assigned to the work or to
a new name or nomenclatural act introduced in the work
-------------------
So the error was on my part, not reading/understanding this example
sufficiently.

However in my defence I did search ZooBank for this work (by first author
surname) and did not find it (because as we now know the ZooBank record for
it had not been upgraded to "published") which led me to believe that the
*work* had not been registered. However due to your (Rich's) familiarity
with the system, you will know that a name cannot be registered without
being accompanied by a corresponding registration for the work - I did not
know this.

I think the issue is that the world has changed. Prior to e-publication, if
a work was not available, that flowed through to its included nomenclatural
acts being unavailable as well. Now it is the other way around - if a
minimum of one of the included nomenclatural acts is registered in ZooBank,
then the work is available, since it must have been registered as well,
even if nobody can see that...

Regards to all - Tony
