Dear Stephen, I believe I am the one who caused such a stir in whether Luxembourg was ever part of Belgium or not. The question came about as I was trying to determine how it could be said that my gggrandfather was from Elvange Belgium when Elvange is in Luxembourg. One person proposed that the Belgium designation was given to distinguish it from the other Elvange locations. This is plausible. I was under the apparently mistaken understanding that for a very brief period of time, like 1830-1839, that Luxembourg could have been considered a part of Belgium to the extent that a person born in Luxembourg could be said to have actually been born in Belgium. I am still in the process of trying to verify whether Elvange in Beckerich Luxembourg is the location where I need to be searching.
