All,

Cannatella's idea was "voted down," but it was in competition with se=
veral other
ideas, and was not dealt with individually. I wholeheartedly agree wi=
th Dr. de
Queiroz that the issue of allowing two names for a clade MUST be addr=
essed
before any rules are considered or adopted. This was my gravest conce=
rn about
the Cannatella proposal. My modification of that proposal does nothin=
g to solve
this, other than removing panstems from the class of "regular taxon n=
ames." My
goal in proposing this formally to create a structure in which panste=
ms can be
dealt with en masse without deliberate dual registration, rather than=
 having to
adopt specific rules that except certain names from priority
