So my question: is ATP to be based on a botantical system or "a much better system" or a combination dependent on the passions growers have for specific genera?

Makes me no never mind, but databases by committee usually result in some odd looking entries as the designer tries to satisfy everyone...been there. Mabe Dave is way better at this than I was.

An even more basic question I asked when I first joined, for which I never received feedback, is who is this database's users: the general gardening public, botanists and plant pedants (geeks like me) or everyone? The architecture depends on that answer IMHO.
