Thanks Kevin for pointing out the lack of correspondence between MARC tag order
and ISBD order which clears up that part of my misconception. I still think it
rather odd that punctuation, if applied at all, follows

In the (hopefully soon, but for sure I'm not holding my breath!) future, we

Ben,
I absolutely agree that different spelling and writing conventions
should be accepted (and I think RDA allows for this in the alternative

Per RDA Abbreviations, metric dimensions (e.g., cm) are not considered
abbreviations and so should not end with a period.
If there is a 490 series statement, however, cm IS followed by a period based
on the ISBD requirement that a series statement be PRECEDED by space full stop
space (D1.2.7).
ISBD also requires that each NOTE be preceded by space full stop space
dash space or start a new paragraph for each. Does this mean that if you
start a new paragraphs, as for the 1st note, you don’t need to precede it
by a space full
stop, let alone the space full stop dash space?

On printed cards, each note did start a new paragraph. RDA has not
