The intention was for use specifically with a taxon name, i.e. not a generic term. Personally I think it would be better to be specific to a taxon name object, otherwise it has less meaning. But I'm not sure.
yearOfPublication is just what we call it here at Landcare, perhaps there is a better term, but I think if you have applied yearOfPublication to a taxon name object, then it seems fairly obvious that this is the year of publication of the taxon name - no?

yearOfPublication is a very general term name, one I didn't immediately connect to the publication year of a scientific name. Is this intentional (in other words, can it be used for the yearOfPublication of other things?) or should the name be more descriptive?

Ha. I had the same problem - first time I have had it - is there something dodgy about goo.gl sort links maybe.
I got around it by going to unshorten.com and unshortening it.

The shortlink http://goo.gl/8WkJa has been disabled (at least on my computer), can you include the full URL to the issue?

Looks like this one is off to a good start. If there is no dissenting opinion in the next 30 days, it looks like it'll be included.
