Unfortunately poor Pluto is in danger of being stripped of it's planetary title to sub-object (moon I suppose, though the orbit still seems odd) of Neptune. (Not to heckle, it is fun playing sci-fi for the time.) For the geographical tags, what would be the problem in using current lat. long. grid method? It would be easily applied to other planets, possibly using a simple prefix to the coordinates. I suppose it would require some standardized understanding of north and south poles as they apply to other planets. Alan (not quite sure what he's talking about, but it's fun.) Alan Derrick John D.
