[edit] Two-empire System

The link labeled "Two-empire system" actually points to a page about the political meaning of "two empire system". And that page does not have a disambiguation paragraph.

How is the five-empire system different from the old five-kingdom system that was used before monera was divied up into archaebacteria and eubacteria? — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 02:34, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The original two-empire system

Should the Empire be listed as an equivalent term for Domain? I believe that the Empire was originally conceived as a top-level rank encompassing all living things (Empire Organisata) as distinct from non-living things (Empire Inorganisata), and is therefore superordinate to what are now called Domains.
