Gijs,

the "deeper" reason for this you will find in the ICZN Preamble, that is
"...to promote stability and universality in the scientific names of
animals...". Much more than in the 1985 edition, the 1999 edition is against
change. Preserving wrongly latinized names is one of the consequences.
Art 31.1.2 is about what authors should do, not about what they have done in
the past.
