If I recall correctly, asteroid belts do get assigned an RVM. Assigning an RVM to the inner and outer moonlets would justify giving them a row in the survey. Assigning each moonlet an RVM would justify giving each moon a number designation. Personally, I just list the number of inner moonlets, ring type, and numer of outer moons on each planet's row.

Perhaps,
Agemegos, you will usher that time in. Perhaps, that time is
now! :)

Now that doesn't sound bad at all.
