In reply to Jonathan Wagner's posting, the PhyloCode Advisory Group has =
something like his option F in mind for widely known names and clades  =
This is what is intended for the "companion volumes."  Apart from the =
widely known names and clades, things would operate more like his option =
H, though this shouldn't cause too much strife in that it would involve =
names and clades that are primarily known to smaller groups of speciailists=
.

In case you don't remember, Jonathan's options were:

F)         Each discipline could be responsible for preparing a review =
paper
establishing the definitions of major converted clade names, effectively
trumping priority. I think the odds of this level of cooperation are just
about nil.

H)        We could do nothing. In this case, there will be a great deal of
strife, and probably some workers will simply choose to ignore priority =
(I'm
not so sure I wouldn't).
