[tdwg-guid] Embedding LSID links within Publications

[Richard Pyle]

Thanks, Gregor -- this is very helpful, and I pretty much agree.

Fair enough....and I'm sure I am over-thinking this.  However, I still see
problems with your proposed approached, in that I do not want big,
cumbersome LSIDs (even once) interrupting the flow of prose.

I think I still favor the idea of a superscript indicator that can be easily
ignored, easily clicked, and easily used to refer to a printed (not hidden)
set of hyperlinks following the "Literature Cited" section.  I think this
strikes a resonable compromise/balance between how things are done in the
publishing world, and how *I* think things *should* be done in the
publishing world....
