Rich,
thanks for summary.
Without waiting for real data, we can find incertae sedis examples
by Google search including
http://tidepool.st.usm.edu/tanaids/incertaesedis.html
http://www.ncl.ac.uk/hancock/publications/vertebrate/cata3.htm
http://www.natureserve.org/explorer/speciesIndex/Family_Incertae_sedis__Kingdom__Fungi__106970_1.htm
http://www.natureserve.org/explorer/speciesIndex/Class_Incertae_sedis__Phylum__Ascomycota__106598_1.htm
How can or cannot we represent them in TCS?
Annotaion of taxsuprage in TaxonomicRankAboveSuperfamilyEnum seems
suggesting to use tax. supergen. instead of incertae sedis, but
I feel it is an abuse of tax. supergen. I have difficulty for
the first two examples. NatureServe eaxmples will give
("tax. supergen.", "Incertae sedis").
If it causes of sersious disagreement, I don't think it is a mainor
modification between recommendation vote and ratification vote.
Cheers,
JMS
