A few possible problems: 1) Such an ID system seems a little intrusive. | In mathematics, we already have a database of this sort - two them, in fact, with in MathSciNet and Zentralblatt MATH. | 0.4 |
As an complement to the other answers, let me address the question of why planets tend towards tidal locking. | The other answers here are fantastic at explaining in a technical sense. | 0.4 |
Stars are rotating, but that's not the cause for their stability. | Stars rotate due to the angular momentum of the gas they formed from. | 3 |

As per your definition, a star formed in a binary system (hence near some gravitating body) is a generalised planet. | The main flaw with your definition of a "generalised planet" would be the boundary between stars and planets. | 3.2 |
