naming nodes

["Ken Kinman" <kinman@hotmail.com>]

George,
    I'm afraid you are probably right.  Wherever there is a node, some 
cladist will name it sooner or later (and probably sooner if they fear 
someone else will beat them to it).
    By the way, David, in that paper in January 2001, did they only give 
informal names to the clades:  australosphenidan clade and boreosphenidan 
clade.  Did they resist the temptation to formally name them?  I hope so 
(that's how it should be).  But even if they didn't, someone will eventually 
"formally" name and define them.  I've only read the abstract, so not sure 
if they did it formally or not.
                   -------Ken
