For picky people it shouldn't really matter as the association with the class Taxon is a loose one, made only via the organizedInClass attribute - in rdf:
dwcattributes:organizedInClass rdf:resource="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/Taxon"/

Ok. That was my assumption. Some people are a bit picky about it though. But fine by me.

Also, what was the justification for combining nomenclature and taxonomic data together into the one dwc:Taxon class?
I think it makes sense to combine them, because there is so much overlap. Both are much more similar to each other than either is to, say, specimens, literature, or geography.
