[seek-taxon] [Fwd: Test LSID resolver for TaxonConcepts]

[Matt Jones]

Hi Rob,

Yeah, I've gotten the Firefox lsid resolver that Rod Page created to 
work (from Mozdev), but its less reliable than the IE LSID Launchpad, 
especially when SOAP endpoints are having problems.  The LSID people 
said there is work on a new LSID Launchpad that works in firefox too, 
but I'm not sure when it will come out.
