Absolutely! But I'll take it a step further: the question: "Is name X presently treated as valid?" has no answer, as such. Without qualification of what is meant by "presently", and without some indication of by whom a name is treated as valid or not, this is a question that can only be answered in shades of gray (or spectra of RGB, if you prefer).
Rich, wasn't it you in the past who pointed out the importance of circumscription to this endeavor? I think one could realistically say that for any well-characterized (with respect to types) circumscription there is only a single valid name. Maybe what we need is a better way to code circumscriptions.
