And here was my response to that posting, with some extraneous stuff =
left out:

I think I goofed on the example. Let me try to include a better examp=
le in the
re-write, and that might make it more clear. Basically, though, this =
is to
cover the case of Corono-synapsida vs. Corono-mammaliaformes... both =
names
refer to the same clade (crown mammals), and we need a reason to pick=
 one.

The panstems should be, because the panstem definition I envision=
=20
restricts Pan- to crown clades. However, imagine the autonymous affix=
 Holo-,
which is like Pan-, but does not require the base clade to be a crown=
 clade.
Holo-theria would =3D Holo-Marsupiala would =3D Holo-dicynodon. We ha=
ve to choose
one. Sorry for the vertebro-centric examples. I'll try to use more pl=
ants.

Thanks for the comments!
