Dan, I'm puzzled by what seems to me to be a contradiction between these two
statements that preface your fine summary of the history of basset clarinets:

>A basset clarinet has almost no relationship with a low C bass clarinet,

and

>A basset clarinet is a soprano clarinet that descends to low written C.
>That is all it is and nothing more.

Couldn't one also say that a low C bass clarinet is a bass clarinet that
descends to low written C? I think that's the relationship Anna was getting
at -- both basset clarinet and low C bass clarinet have "extra" keys, and pretty
similar looking ones at that.
