[Zoobank-list] ZooBank Data Objects

[Richard Pyle]

Thanks, Ricardo -- this is very helpful.  I added a few comments and altered
the wording in a few places on this page:
http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/GUID/GUIDsForZoologicalNames

...and I also wrote a large diatribe about focusing on "Usage Instances" as
the core unit of nomenclatural data exchange, rather than trying to create a
common notion of "Name Object" (which exists in far more flavors than just
the two Code-relevant versions) -- which I appended to the bottom of this
page: http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/GUID/RichPylesExamples (I couldn't
figure out how to create a new page).

Aloha,
Rich

> 3. How should we assign LSIDs to zoological names?
