Comment(by weigandt):

 I actually thought about question 2 on Thursday.

 Ultimately this database might contain curves that come not only from the
 Cremona or Stein-Watkins tables but also from ABC@home data, Cremona's
 egros code, parameterizations of elliptic curves with prescribed torsion
 subgroups, taking quadratic twists, and whatever other dirty tricks we can
 think up.

 Let's say hypothetically that there are 25 isogeny classes in Stein-
 Watkins of conductor 240672 (I'm guessing there are far more). Then these
 should be labeled sw240672A to sw240672Y. A couple months down the road, I
 might then add (though some refereed process) the isogeny class of the
 elliptic curve [0, -1, 0, -13808832780322, -19750744373708998160]. This
 isogeny class should be called something like we240672Z, but people should
 be able to call it up from the label 240672Z.

 Until we know all elliptic curves of conductor 240672 and it becomes
 something like we240672cn through John's scheme.

 When we know all elliptic curves with conductor less than or equal to
 240672 then we can drop the prefix. Until then, someone curious about
 where this curve (with analytic order of sha 361) came from should
 probably be able to ask me.
