Hence the requirement for registration can be considered an improvement since it would do away with problems such as that. I rest my case. Greg Paul named a number of theropod taxa from new species on up in Predatory Dinosaurs of the World. Although a few people got worked up about this initially and made a problem out of it where there was none, his book is now considered part of the paleo literature and some of his taxa remain in use. There was never any need to register his nomenclature, and there is no need to register nomenclature in the literature at any time.
All publications eventually find their level without legislative oversight.
On the other hand, once a mandatory registry is created, there is great opportunity for mischief. From registration it is only a short step to exclusion, and I see this as a great infringement of a worker's freedom to create taxonomic names as needed in his or her work. The present code does not institutionalize any taxonomic philosophy and in fact indirectly encourages exploration of all kinds of philosophies by not governing suprafamilial taxa at all. This is a good system, it is not broke, no need to fix it.
