terminology - Planets and Pluto? Neptune?


If one of the rules to be a planet is that it needs to clear ALL objects from their orbit, does this also make Neptune a non-planet? Since it has thus far failed to clear Pluto from it's orbit. Or does this rule not really apply to planets and we should welcome Pluto and a few other dwarf planets into our family of planets?
