There are some discrepancies seen when comparing the MPC's listing of star catalog codes for obs80 here and for ADES here.
The obs80 codes s = "USNO-B2.0" and T = "URAT-2" are not present in the ADES list. Does this mean that there are no observations that use these codes (now or in the future) and they can be safely deleted? Otherwise, we need ADES codes to be defined to enable obs80 -> ADES conversions. (Suggest USNOB2 and URAT2 to align with current version of packUtil.py.)
The ADES code ZZCAT = "USNO Zodiacal Zone Catalog" does not appear in the obs80 list. If this catalog is in use then the MPC should assign an obs80 code to allow XML -> obs80 conversions.
After resolving the two points above I can update the catCodes dictionary in packUtil.py to reflect any changes.
