As noted in PR #34, there are problems with converting to/from packed comet designations. This affects the functionality of mpc80coltoxml.py and xmltompc80col.py for comet data.
From notes in PR #34:
Note that some of the examples for comets fail: e.g. J94P010 = 1994 P1 according to the MPC website, but our code converts this as A/1994 P1. Additionally, the existing code fails to match and convert J94P01b at all (to 1994 P1-B).
This is in manifested in a number of failures in test_packUtil.py:
