I just think that the definition should not include any reference to the Kuiper belt. Whatever the definition it should be universal. It should apply to objects in the KB as well as closer in and further out. And it should apply to planets orbiting other stars too.

Yes, but we need a name something a bit more palatable than 2003 UB313. There's got to be a few Roman gods still left after Pluto.
