I prefer to higher-lower pair because I don't think
lower taxon is a member of higher taxon in set theory sense
as presented previous TDWG meetings.
Next-higher/lower could be too restrictive because there can
be missing ranks.
Super/sub pair is also acceptable.
What does the last pair means, Gregor?
