Lisa and I caught 
  The Pluto Files
 last night on NOVA, and we are in agreement that "dwarf planet" is a nice compromise term for Pluto and other similar 
trans-Neptunian objects.I also think 
the stained-glass window memorializing Pluto's discoverer Clyde Tombaugh (in a Universalist church, natch) is pretty cool.
