Re: "Gwangisaurus" - possible?

Well, as the Turkish case proves, there is a need for nomenclatorial 
lawyers -- a new branch of law.  They can handle appeals to the ICZN, 
research page priorities, and with the proper training in Latin and 
Greek plead cases for correcting names.  Just what VP needs. Can grants 
for nomenclatorial legal services be far behind?
