[tcs-lc] New Version of TCS announced

[Roger Hyam]

Rich,

Please find attached an instance document that attempts to mark up the 
list you have provided. I have added notes and comments to the document 
to try and illustrate what I had difficulty with.

One area that I think needs discussion again is incorrect spelling of 
names and how they should be presented. I'll start a separate thread on 
this one.

Generally I would like to move away from Aus bus. It is one of the few 
species I would really not mind becoming extinct. If we could move to 
using real world examples where possible that would be great. I can put 
a scan of some pages from monographs and floras/faunas somewhere if that 
would help.

I hope when I finally get the first draft of a User Guide up it will 
help clarify many points.

All the best,

Roger
