[CPN] Ratification of the PhyloCode

  Dear CPN members,

  During my reading the code, I came with the following minor notes:

  Art. 6.2. There is a "]" before the "6.2".

  Art. 9.6.  Is " common" necessary in the end of the fourth line? Isn't it
redundant with "share".

  Art. 9.7.1 (last line). Why "species and organisms" does not apear after
"specifiers" as in similar statements in Arts. 9.5.2 and 9.6.1?

  Art. 9.9 (and elsewhere): crown-clade is sometimes written without an
hyphen. Also for total-clade in other parts of the text.

  Art. 11.13 (second paragraph). Why "relative to other crown clades" is
used in the two last examples of definitions (lines 8 and 9) but not in the
first (line 4)?

  Art 9.9.3 (line 4): perhaps include "still" before "apply".

  Art. 9.11 (Example 1, line 5): "was" after "name"

  Art. 10.5.3 (line 4): I believe "This treatment applies" to the
specifier, not to the "crown clade".

  Example 2 (page 34): In order to fit with the abbreviation (final lines),
shouldn't "homologous" in lines 7 and 10 be replaced by "synapomorphic".

  Art. 14.5 (line 3): plural to "panclade".

  Note 15.11.3. Perhaps "must"  is better than "may" in line 2.

  Note 21A.3 (Example 1). "combinationwith" in line 3.

 Note sure if (other than the typos) there is place for those modifs, but I
wanted to point them out anyhow.

  Regardless of the above, I am ready to vote.

  All the best,

  max
