Taxacom: Single official lists of taxa (sensu Doug Yanega many proposals to this list)

[Paul van Rijckevorsel]

"If an international naming system for scientific names
was to be designed today" it seems doubtful what result
this would yield, in this international climate. Very likely
we would end up with a dozen competing systems (if not
more).

How many different systems are there for attaching
alphanumeric strings as identifiers to taxa/names? And
that is a lot simpler ...
