Nevertheless, the general formula for $\Pb^0$ as a definite bulk quantity associated only with the inversion properties of a given charge distribution in the bulk has been obtained. Its application to ferroelectric perovskites BaTiO$_3$, PbTiO$_3$, and KNbO$_3$ is discussed.4 pages, 1 figure, 1 table, RevTeX4.
