Well, if the page-priority rule does not apply, I can add a point of my personal dislikes to the list about the Code.
I know this is an ages-old thread, but it may still be worth mentioning that
there is no page-priority rule in zoology. The order in which simultaneously published names are printed does not matter. In such cases, the first reviser (or the IUZN comittee) decides the priority. There is a single exception, recommendation 69A.10, which deals with designating type species of a genus.
This rule is a bit of a pain as the "first reviser" can be quite obscure and difficult to recognise.
