RickCorey said:And I agree: almost any time you say "perennial" about a plant, it would be nice to have said "perennial in Zones X and warmer".

It might be "nice," but it would only perpetuate the misunderstanding. A perennial plant is perennial in every zone. The fact that its life is ended by bad weather does not make it any less a perennial. That's why we have hardiness zones for perennials. There are no hardiness zones for annuals. They aren't coming back in any zone.
