There will also eventually be a "B"-series of catalogues from
USNO-Flagstaff. These will result when a second epoch of plate material
is added in so that proper motions will be available for all the stars.
Thus the nomenclature committee scheme (e.g. USNO-A2.0 xxxxxxx, USNO-B1.0....)
is necessary for unamibiguous identification.
