<p class="MsoNormal">As Richard noted, “if proper assignment of an
authorial
heading matters … the rule needs to stay.” If we are satisfied with
simply
providing access the general rule would suffice; main entry under first
named
with added entries for the rest would do. Personally, unless there is
compelling reason to diverge from past practice, I would favor
retaining the rule if only for the sake of consistency (not to mention
the evidence of Bob's investigations). Also, if that footnote
“do not accept the designation <u>auctor</u>…without further evidence”
could be
amplified or explained a bit, instead of merely referring the user to
those 19<sup>th</sup> c.
articles that are inaccessible to many users, the rule might be more
helpful.<br>
