Working on Space-Time and spectral coordinate metadata in the VO
context, I took a harder look at Table 12 and noticed that the
magnitudes for LSRK and LSRD were quoted from Delhaye (1965) as 20,
respectively 16.6 km/s.  Yet, Delhaye gives values of 19.5 and 16.6.
Where does the difference come from?

Cheers,
