Request change to IVOAT vocabulary:
Bailey Type is a classification of RR Lyrae stars according to the shape 
and amplitude of their light variation.  It is not narrower than 
RRLyrae. And, the altname of "AB variable star" is not appropriate 
because it is not a star, rather it is a property of a star.

While I'm at it, I think globularCluster is better than globularStarCluster.
