Wouldn't the RDA version of the non-Christian-centric terminology have

Odd we didn't get many fl.s, then - so did NACO used to have neither
'active' or 'fl.'? Seems to be on the MARC21 pagesI'm pretty sure
they used to be filtered out according to 1 protocol or another, or
perhaps it was just

A quick search on our local copy of the LC/NAF reveals 28332 personal name
headings containing the characters fl. That will include some name-titles.
The LCRI limited its use, except exceptionally, to spans

Hi Richard
Nope! Well not uniformly
I wish to avoid dipping into the specifics of this question, but: In the
gleaming future in which we no longer rely on pre-constructed heading strings,
one will be able to display the information in the 046 field (or its

I confess to some puzzlement as to why RDA has not apparently chosen
to update dates to non-Christian-centric terminology, e.g. BC/AD --
BCE/CE ...
This was one of several good ideas in early RDA drafts which got lost.
Another was removing alternate title from title
Wouldn't the RDA version of the non-Christian-centric terminology have to be
spelled out as Christian Era or Before the Christian Era ?I fail to see
how these are any less Christian-centric, since they explicitly mention it.
