http://www.tdwg.org/homepage-news-item/article/lsid-and-guid-applicability-s... lists http://www.tdwg.org/standards/150/download/ as the location of the approved standards, but those documents indicate that their status is "TDWG Draft Standard" No doubt those are the drafts that were actually approved, but shouldn't the documents be corrected as to their status? Also, it would be far nicer if they were downloadable as separate documents. It is clumsy to cite just one of them. Speaking of citation, what if all approved standards carried a recommended way to cite them? Bob -- Robert A.
