Re-use a name?

[Jonathon Woolf <jwoolf@erinet.com>]

Random musings . . .

Everybody knows that "Brontosaurus" is currently considered an invalid
taxon, a junior synonym of _Apatosaurus_ because OC Marsh thought he had
two critters when he had two specimens of the same critter.

I recall reading somewhere recently of a name given a dinosaur (might
have been _Centrosaurus_) that was questioned, branded invalid because
it had been used before, then resurrected on the grounds that the older
use turned out to be a junior synonym of another genus name.  

Thus, a question: Could some enterprising soul apply the name
"Brontosaurus" to a new, hitherto undescribed species of sauropod, and
thus give us back that wonderfully accurate and evocative dinosaur name?
