Why on Earth?? The ICZN at least has the excuse that it pre-dates the Internet.
The idea is that one should be able to read all publications of nomenclatural acts without any special apparatus (beyond glasses, I suppose). Even microfilm is therefore forbidden. Check out Articles 4.2 and 4.3: http://www.ohio.edu/phylocode/art4-5.html
Besides, the current (4th) edition of the ICZN is from 1999, does not predate the Internet, and does not require ink on paper; if Internet publication is accompanied by CDs deposited in a couple of public institutions, that's fine with the ICZN. Has been done; new names have been published in Palaeontologia Electronica this way.
Not that I'm an especial fan of the Phylocode anyway
Why is that? :-)
