Excellent summary, Greg!
We must assume, as Gregor has noted, that in the absence of explicit statements to the contrary all taxonomic events are unique ... and if they aren't, we simply have two that are the same.
Yes. This turns my vague efforts of gaining an operational perspective into an actual operationally useful instruction to those who have to assign IDs. :-) When in doubt, a (potentially) duplicate ID must be assigned!
