To point out a few more that affect filing to a greater or lesser extent:

1. Whereas under AACR2 (25.9) we use "Selections" as collective title
for three or more various works by someone, under RDA there's "Works.
Selections" (6.2.2.10).  And this comes into play with *two* or more
various works.

2. And speaking of selections, the order of the pieces for the uniform
title "Short stories. Spanish. Selections" is explicitly described in
AACR2 (25.11).  In RDA, where I can't find a similar explicit
instruction nor are the instructions given all that neatly laid out,
it might be "Short stories. Selections. Spanish" (6.27.3).

3. Under RDA, only one language is allowed in the $l of a uniform
title--no dual languages with ampersand, no "Polyglot" for three or
more languages (6.11.1.4).
