	HI Bob ~  yes,  all of your comments are under consideration.  a number
of things were cut and pasted from you-know-where in response to our
policy of using existing language.  it is wonderful how the use of
existing language exposes anomalies and inconsistencies.  other stuff I
am looking at again.  Thanks, jm

<excerpt>A. I believe this came up at BSC. I am a bit puzzled by the
requirement not to transpose in 0D. Why is prescribed punctuation used
only if there is no necessity for transposition? I don't understand this,
nor do I understand why we are forbidden to transpose with single sheet
publications where we are not with, e.g., books.


B. Should there be a requirement to note the source of the title? E.g.:


        1A5. Give in a note the source of the title.


C. In 1A3 we are told not to omit any of the first six words of the text
in abridging. In 1A2 we are to transcribe the first *five* words of the
text under certain circumstances. Why not six here, too?


D. In 1C2 we are told to "treat that statement according to the rules for
other monographic publications"--i.e., transpose? What are you getting at
here? If you mean transpose, does this contradict 0D?


E. 2A1. Needs a space between read and unfolded. Also, I suggest you
separate the examples from their captions. I thought at first that the
300 field was supposed to read: 

        300     1 sheet, printed on both sides, unnumbered: 1 sheet ([2]
p.)


Instead, the rule should read something like:


<italic>Examples: 1 sheet, printed on both sides, unnumbered:

</italic>                300     1 sheet ([2] p.)

        <italic>1 sheet, printed on both sides, numbered:

</italic>                300     1 sheet (2 p.)

        etc.


F. 2A3. Why are rolls suddenly being introduced here? They aren't
mentioned anywhere else. 


G. Glossary, definition for "sheet"--why limit to paper, parchment, or
vellum? What about tapa cloth, cloth, or plastic sheets? How about this:
"Sheet: a single piece of paper, parchment, vellum, or other material
with manuscript or printed matter on one or both sides, paginated or
unpaginated. ..."
