Just out of curiosity -- has anyone ever played in a band where our
brassy friends actually honored the trumpet/cornet distinction
rather than playing everything on trumpet? I
assume SOMEBODY must pay attention, perhaps military or
pro bands -- but then maybe that would be a silly assumption.

Of, yes -- does this topic have relevance on a clarinet list?
Certainly -- who among us has not been handed a cornet
part by a semi-literate librarian's assistant? "Coronet,
clorinet -- what's the difference?"
