The recommendation for now is to use the full designation and ignore the prefixed "2011".

Relatedly, note that some objects which are purely simulated (and not clones of real objects)
have designation formats that do not match real moving object designations
(e.g., spaceships have prefix "ET").
These are not issues and not mistakes, but also do not necessarily represent future designations
of real LSST-detected moving objects.
