In RDA, all of the data is "recorded". It's just that for some of the
elements, the method of recording is specifically transcription.
I wonder if it would be too weird to use the mark of omission, and have
something like:
Madeleine Albright, Franz-Lothar Altmann, ... Carl Bildt [and 52 others]
or:
Madeleine Albright, Franz-Lothar Altmann, ... Carl Bildt [and 55 others]
I'm not really sure about this! The first one totally ignores the number of
names represented by the mark of omission. The second one adds up all the
names omitted before and after Carl Bildt. Either way, I'm not sure I like the
look of it.
