If Haumea has an internal sea (or seas) of liquid, could the spin cause occasional ruptures of the ice shell that resurface substantial areas every time they occur? The density would suggest that Haumea does not have as much rock as some other TNOs.

OK. In answer to the semantic question being debated in this comment section, no I do not consider the various gods of the world "fictional". By my definition of the word, a fiction is a work composed by an author who does not believe it to be true, and told to an audience that does not believe it to be true. If the author believes his story to be true, but the audience may or may not, then it is not fiction, it is a legend, or myth. If both the author and any concievable audience consider the work to be true than it is factual.

As regards: "As you know, the naming schemes are a bit semantically quirky out here." : Instead of "a bit semantically quirky", I think it's better to say: 'Dwarf planets are not called planets because of an emotional (a.k.a. non-logical, irrational, 'non-scientific') bias towards diminishing Pluto. "...a bit semantically quirky..." is an apologist's failed attempt at an apology. A real apology would read like this: q. Is Mercury a planet? a. Of course it isn't! It's a rocky planet. q. Is Jupiter a planet? a. Of course it isn't! It's a gas giant planet. q. Is Eris a planet? a. Of course it isn't! It's a dwarf planet. q. Is Pluto a planet? a. Of course it isn't! It's a dwarf planet.
@parallaxnick637

It wasn't so much about diminishing Pluto as preserving the "specialness" of the word "planet". If Pluto is a planet, then there are dozens, potentially hundreds, of planets in our Solar System, which would make the word "planet" as banal as the word "river". Some are OK with this, some aren't. As it happens, astronomers aren't, and they are the majority in the IAU.

@@parallaxnick637 Thanks for this. Fundamentally, this issue of the use of the word "planet" is cultural, subjective, and customary. It is not about science, and that's only bad if it's seen as such. I myself prefer a definition that includes roundness due to gravity but without the illusory precision that some scientists (and others) believe can be achieved. I can live with the ambiguity and haziness of classification. Biology lives with it. Perhaps astronomers should too. They can only fool themselves on this. Your three line meme captures this perfectly: Dwarf Galaxy = Galaxy Dwarf star = star Dwarf planet = not a planet. Sure Harv. Whatever you say.

I forget the astronomers names, but they found perhaps a more large asteroid like object even further out than Sedna.
