To generalize, the one gets you a Fivaz-Stanton Number and a nice writeup in the Cherrypicker's Guide. The other gets your own name permanently associated with the known research on the issue and becomes how variety collectors identify what they have. However, both processes are in widely-accepted use, so you have to draw the distinction in your own mind.[/QUOTE]
