[tcs-lc] where to go now..

I think this is a sensible approach. However, there are a few basic issues
that remain in my mind:

1) Somewhere, on some wiki, it seemed like most people agreed that "Kingdom"
could/would be replaced by "NomenclaturalCode" (or whatever makes sense to
call it).  True?  If so, it is probably something that does not belong as a
root TaxonConcept element, but rather belongs somewhere within the "Name"
element (indeed, somewhere specifically within "ScientificName").

2) Similarly, I think "Rank" is also a function of a Name, rather than of a
concept, and probably belongs within "Name" or even "ScientificName".

3) What is the difference between the "Label" element of LC, and the
"NameSimple" element of TCS?

Agreed.
