Aargh
Here I have to confess I'm a complete fraud, I have never read the 
ICBN, I just go by what the ipni editors tell me they need. And they 
use ex authors but have largely stopped using in authors although of 
course we have a large number of them in legacy records.
Perhaps a real botanist could step in and answer this point?

To answer Rich's question on the enum vs. boolean point I was saying 
I don't have a preference as to which but I was agreeing it should be 
something with a controlled vocabulary in some way.
