MPF, the zoological code doesn't give such rules for higher level taxa, and doesn't insist on a priority system, which would change a fair number of current groups (e.g., most fish orders). Even if it did, it wouldn't apply here, because the taxa under consideration may not quite be synonyms (i.e.

Another reason that ICZN may not have the answer: there are a number of potentially 'correct answers' that can be used to classify mammals, and only one will be chosen in the ICZN. The purpose of this poll is for
Wikipaedia users to choose the system they feel makes the most
107:
Why would ICZN have the answer? It doesn't rule on names, only on the form they can take, and doesn't enforce any sort of priority system. I think the prsence of both systems in current literature suggests both are acceptable.
208:, there don't seem to be any more votes cast. As such, I intend to implement what has been recommended by those who did vote. The result: Monotremata-Marsupialia-Placentalia in the lead by a factor of three.--

Along the way, I realised that the system I presented first, tabulating the votes in
