Very interesting. Though if Pluto was classified as it should be, a Kuiper Belt Object, then this "planet" would likely also be called a KBO, not a planet. Consider that the moon is larger than Pluto, then ask if Pluto or this new 10th planet should be considered KBO's or planets!
It is odd that this new discovery is so far above the plane of the ecliptic. It almost tends to suggest it may actually be a captured object, though if it is native to the solar system gravitational interactions could have thrown it out of the ecliptical plane long ago. Anyways, it is quite interesting.
