many qualifications
There are many qualifications to make something a planet. Crossing orbits or not is not one of them (good call KW). The meteor belt between Mars and Jupiter fits that scenario, but thier not planets. All I'm saying is that there are many criteria. I don't know them all. While I think it'd be super-cool if Sedna is a planet, I think the scientists are correct to be cautious and wait and see for sure, doing more research.
