[tcs-lc] For completeness - handling of ex authors

[Paul Kirk]

'ex' is an integral part of the author citation (although always (in Botany) optional wrt what comes before it) whereas 'in' is a connecting term to link the author citation with the first elements of a bibliographic reference and is typically used where the name(s) in the author citation are different from the author(s) of the item of literature (if they are the same, no 'in' citation is required).

The Code makes good reading for insomniacs ...

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.
