Perhaps we have different understandings of some words?  We must not
be sharing some crucial foundational concepts. Allow me to summarize
from my perspective:
Me: "How does $x relate to $y."
You: "It's relates precisely and completely."
Me: "I didn't mean does it, I mean how does it?"
You: "Not sure what to tell you."

Surely we can begin communicating better.  We seem to be talking past
each other.

The markup suggested doesn't seem to reflect, to me, any of the
authoring practices already being used.  Furthermore, it's hard for me
to evaluate how the suggested markup was proposed because I can't find
the analysis and commonalities of already published markup.

I don't mean the structure of domain specific taxonomy information, I
meant the structure of markup.  The names of taxonomy are already
provided by science.  I understand that.  I'm specifically talking
about the structure of markup.

I suggest looking at the other *-examples pages, in particular
<http://microformats.org/wiki/review-examples> and
<http://microformats.org/wiki/citation-examples>.  Please take careful
note of the analysis sections and implied schema sections.

I was looking at the history, which is what made me curious, to begin
with.  As far as accusations go, I'm not sure I've made any, but in
the case that I have:
I officially unaccuse and revoke any accusations towards you.  I'm
glad for your work and efforts.  But just so we're clear: I'm
concerned about species.

Thanks,
