Ah, well this is something I didn?t know about the code, a loophole you
could drive a bus through. Thanks Frank. Now for the follow-up question.
What are chances of closing said loophole? I am certain there are reasons
why it hasn?t happened yet but it is interesting for the more naive like me.

To close this supposed loophole you would have to totally redefine the 
criteria constituting a published work (ie. Article 8), especially if you 
would restrict all nomenclatorial acts to peer reviewed journals only.
