I meant the simplest possible thing:  just the cross-correlations
between catalogs, and the likelihood that, based on these correlations,
the object might be a CV.  Essentially what the two of you have
been saying in your posts.  Just put things in plain English and
in an organized manner.  I like Brian's concept of an IBVS, but
this sounds like an evolving list and so needs to be maintained on the
vsnet website as well.  That gives everyone a starting point for
deciding whether to follow a specific object.  This will be much
simpler for me than the current hodge-podge of emails, some of which just discuss
an object and some of which actually have coordinates or magnitudes
for the object.
