Well, I thought I would go back to 2.4.1.4 and see what it says.
It appears to be very much in line with AACR2. I did not see anything like
the examples given in previous e-mails. Titles are omitted. They don't
really add anything to the area of responsibility. I did see "Professors"
used once, and that may be due the use of the last name.
Anyway, I see no justification in RDA to include all of that other stuff
mentioned in other e-mails. I looked at the LC guidlines (LCPPCs?) and
they don't seem to include all that stuff either.
