As I understand it, 8.4 is under general guidelines and is about recording names. It doesn't say whether they are in a statement of responsibility or a preferred name or access point or whatever. RDA assumes that a library will have a preferred language and script based on the needs of its

I recently taught at RDA at the National Library of Israel. They do not have a single preferred script, nor a single language of cataloging. In fact they have four: Hebrew, Arabic, roman, and Cyrillic. Depending on the script of the resource they are cataloging, they will use an authorized
