[Taxacom] Cross-rank homonyms (in zoology)

Thanks all, it seems I should have looked further into the Code (including
the glossary) to see that homonymy is considered to exist only within, and
not across ranks (-groups), although I note that in the examples given by
Francisco, Reticulata and Acanthocephala are above the rank of superfamily
and presumably would not be regulated by the Code.

I will convey relevant information to the Wikispecies discussion.

With thanks for your input - each response with particular insights,

Best regards - Tony
