This change is fine with me.  My preference would be "frequently used", but either of the other two suggestions (often used, commonly used) would be fine with me too.  If there is anyone who objects to this change, including those who already voted, please say so.  If no one objects, we will assume that the Yes vote (which is unanimous at this point with only one person not having voted) includes this change and correcting the glossary definition of "taxon" as pointed out by David.
