Two tangential questions occur from Marjorie's posting:
A. Are you saying that ILS vendors have taken our cataloging codes fully to 
heart in the past? I thought most complaints about ILS vendors was that they 
don't pay that close of attention to cataloging codes whether new or old.
2. And you're saying that there is at least one vendor currently working on an 
ILS that will accommodate RDA right out of the box? Kudos to them.
