 > Heegner points are naturally defined over K, and the height over K is
 *double* the height over Q.   In general, if P in E(Q) and L is a number
 field, then {{{[L:Q]*h_Q(P) = h_L(P)}}}

 OK, I stand corrected!   I'm just used to computing rational Heegner
 points (via the trace) so that had not occurred to me.
