Description: taken from the original google code issue:
https://code.google.com/p/gbif-ecat/issues/detail?id=98

Taxon names that differ only in the presence/absence of diacritic marks ought to be treated as spelling variants rather than as separate names.

Examples:
4307394	Achelous
6458829	Acheloüs

4377003 Achnanthes plonensis
4920773 Achnanthes plönensis

4919066 Bütschliella
6009122 Butschliella

5977298 Pseudopanthera oberthuri
1954573 Pseudopanthera oberthüri

I think there are quite a few of these.  There are also many cases where the names are also obviously synonyms but the spelling difference reflects a transliteration of a diacritic, for example:

2630477 Achnanthes ploenensis
4893234 Buetschliella
