[tcs-lc] Re: You don't need embedded names to do concepts

On a post a couple days ago from James that I missed:

I thought one of the Wiki dicussions ended with agreement that ambiregnal
names would be established as two separate Original concept instances,
mapped to each other as "Congurent" within the (definitive) Relationships. I
sort-of understand the multiscript languages problem, but I don't see them
as being within the scope of "scientific names".  There may need to be a
"VB" ("VernacularCore") group to deal with such problems.

Even more generally, as I see it, there is no way to record simultaneously a
vernacular name and a scientific name within one Concept instance.

I think it's shared by me.  One "name" object can have multiple
"name-strings" in the form of orthographic variants.  Presumably, only one
of those orthographic alternatives would be deemed "Code-correct", in the
case of scientific names.  I think the problem is more complex for
vernacular names.
