The current response contains the Indicia-preferred taxon when the classifier-suggested taxon matches one in the warehouse.

From the point of view of recording, this is all we need because, if there is no match in the warehouse, we cannot create a record. However, from the perspective of auditing classifier performance, having no record of the suggestions which did not match is a short-coming.
In the warehouse classification_suggestions table, taxon_name_given is a required field supposed to hold "Name of the taxon suggested by the classifier."

I propose adding a field to the response, in the suggestions array, of 'classifier_taxon' which will always contain the name returned by the classifier.
The 'taxon' field would be unchanged, holding the same name, a preferred synonym, or be absent if not match is made.
