 Endangered Species Update: Cryptic biodiversity.@ HighBeam Research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
We don't have a final answer to this question yet, but through the collaborative efforts of agency biologists and scientists specializing in taxonomic classification, we are moving in the right direction.
For creatures such as freshwater mussels, the most highly imperiled animal group in the U.S., the level of diversity exceeds that of any other region globally.
The above preview is from Endangered Species Update, May 1, 2003.

 The Barcode of Life
Mark Stoeckle, Paul Waggoner, and Jesse have prepared “Barcoding Life, Illustrated”, a brief brochure on the goals, rationale, and early results of this new technology for species identification and biodiversity science.
The involvement of the Program for the Human Environment in DNA barcoding dates to Jesse Ausubel's attendance in February 2002 at a conference in Nova Scotia organized by the Canadian Center for Marine Biodiversity.
Impressed by the potential for this technology to address difficult challenges in the Census of Marine Life, Jesse agreed with Paul on encouraging a conference to explore the contribution DNA taxonomy could make to the Census as well as other large-scale terrestrial efforts.

 EvolNews.org - DNA barcoding   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
While barcoding may be useful for cryptic species, the authors argue that there is no substitute for using morpological keys to identify species.
The main difficulty is that while barcoding may identify new species through DNA, these barcodes must still be linked to a known and described specimen.
Barcoding to book of life doesn't seem to be the answer just yet.
