<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#1F497D">Use

<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Instructions in elements 1.7.2-1.7.9 also treat transcription issues concerning capitalization, diacritical marks, symbols, spacing,
<i>and <b>inaccuracies</b></i>. The alternative at 1.7.1 allows us to legitimately bring DCRM in to areas of the RDA BSR that had, in our recent discussions, caused us all some discomfort. Of course the Bibliographic Standards Committee may still elect to edit
 DCRM rules concerning transcription, perhaps to bring them more in line with RDA, but by pointing to DCRM as our preferred guide for transcription style, this part of the BSR will remain valid.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
