    Although there is no *definitive* list, there can be an approximation
of such a hypothetical list.  Provided Yoshida-san is not making a
request to the GCVS team, what he seems to want is such an approximation,
rather than a complete, definte list, which may appear a century later.
I thought that everyone was discussing about how to make a better
approximation, rather than to prove there is no such an approximation.

    If the correct IDs were reflected on all star chart programs, Toni
at least observed the correct star (no matter what the observed magnitudes
were).  That should have been a great advance in this case!
