As with the Global Names Resolver, it would be helpful for gnverifier to optionally return vernacular names.

very good point @thompsonmj

I didn't know about this possibility. Could any of you provide examples of using gnames services for getting vernacular names?

Are their usages in checklists documented somewhere? (I mean, a standardized recommended way of providing them if I were the data source creator)

A very interesting subject (although I prefer gnames to concentrate efforts in high-quality scientific names services)
