Thank you for that very helpful advice. I at least understand what's 
going on more.
I did as you advised, and I see this when I run ls -l /dev/pilot:

[root@localhost rules.d]# ls -l /dev/pilot
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 7 Aug  5 18:19 /dev/pilot -> ttyUSB1

It seems to be as you predict.
Except I notice that /dev/pilot is *always* a symlink to ttyUSB1, 
whether the palm is connecting or not.

Is it possible that when I did this:
cd /dev
ln -s ttyUSB1 pilot
ln -s ttyUSB1 palm
chmod 0666 pilot palm

... previous to getting your advice, I created a symlink that is over 
riding what is in 10-visor-rules?

If so, can I remove my previous symlinks so that 10-visor-rules will 
take effect?
