I would change the solar system models at this point. Especially with Xena and Sedna, it looks like it's time to update the Almanacs.
Odd question to other Space Buffs:
What is the current location of Voyager 1 (the one which left the Solar System), and is it possible for it to get photos/info on the proposed planetary bodies mentioned in the article.
Unlikely, I'd bet. But on the off chance it's close enough for a photo....

A map could probably be made showing the deep space probes and the new planetlike bodies. Probably in most cases we are just as close from here on earth as any of them are.
