It's probably more important to poll already published content, to
learn how the market place is already doing it. This is the whole
point of documenting examples, analyzing publishing behaviour, and
only afterwards determining what the schema and names should be.
I work with experts in this field and so it's a simple task for me to
ask around. Also, googling for binomial nomenclature and binominal
nomenclature reveals that binomial is the far more common usage.
Google even tried to spell-correct binominal to binomial.
Going back to learning how the market place is doing it, I've yet to
see an example that uses the term binomial as a class name in markup.
If I find an example, I'll post it.
Time would be much better spent continuing work on organizing examples
by publisher and publishing behaviour, documenting existing practices,
and discovering the implied schema, as the other microformats have
done. To my knowledge, this process still isn't complete.
I will focus efforts in this area. In my own experience working in the
field of biodiversity informatics and web design, I would anecdotally
say that there are very few common existing practices apart from those
I've already pointed out. I'll work these into the examples.
