[CPN] The BioCode

[David Marjanovic]

I thought it was dead. Turns out it was only _mostly_ dead. After the 
1997 draft failed to go anywhere, the International Committee on 
Bionomenclature reduced its scope and prepared a new draft last year. It 
is now to provide an overarching framework for the existing codes, not 
to replace them; consequently, only 35 Articles are left. They can be 
read here: http://www.bionomenclature.net/biocode2011.html

The International Botanical Congress later that year declined to even 
discuss it. And I can see a few things the zoologists are unlikely to 
put up with; the greatest attempt to accommodate a peculiarity of theirs 
(the silly Principle of Coordination) might even backfire.

The only consequence for us that I can see is that the PhyloCode cites 
the 1997 draft in a few places; this should of course be updated.
