Interestingly, the responses (including mine) that said you either record
just the first place of publication or all of them, is no longer going to
be correct.
I just read this from John Attig's blog of the November 5 JSC meeting
(http://www.personal.psu.edu/jxa16/blogs/resource_description_and_access_ala_rep_notes/2013/11/report-of-the-meeting-of-the-joint-steering-committee-5-november-2013.html):
6JSC/DNB/3: Attributes of manifestations: Instructions for more than one
instance of an element
The DNB sought to clarify the RDA instructions when there are multiple
instances of an element, and the cataloger chooses to go beyond the core
requirement to record the first instance: Does RDA expect that the
cataloger either must record only the first instance or must record all
instances ("all or nothing") or does RDA allow the cataloger to record
additional instances selectively ("shopping-cart")? The JSC agreed to the
statement (to be included in RDA 0.6.1) that "Only one instance of a core
element is required. Subsequent instances are optional." -- i.e., the JSC
opted for the "shopping-cart" approach. The JSC did not agree to the
proposals to change specific instructions from "if there is more than one
statement..." to "if more than one statement is recorded"; two instances
that already say "if more than one statement is recorded" (2.3.4.3 and
2.5.2.3) will be revised.
