Good point -- but I think that viruses do have separate (unique)
"scientific" names, separate from "popular" names. But I don't really know
for sure.

But it's the same "name" -- the only difference of the different Codes has
to do with priority decisions between names, authorships, etc. -- all
secondary attributes of the names. Not enough to think of them as separate
name-objects.

Yes -- that's a part we still need to sort our (names with authors vs. names
without authors).
