If RDA had followed the alternative rule in DCRM, where punctuation is transcribed (minus the exceptions), you might be able to use punctuation for this purpose. But, RDA says you can also add punctuation if the wording/spacing appears to need it (e.g., commas could be added to words at the end of lines). There are also the problems of ellipses or brackets in a title or imprint. Ellipses and brackets mean something else. Is there really something left out of a title or did the 3 dots appear in the title? Were the brackets printed on the page or is a cataloger adding something?

RDA guidelines, however, say to omit punctuation that separates data elements, whereas the DCRM alternative instructs to transcribe such marks even if it results in double punctuation. On this issue, the editorial group is slightly confused by several of the examples given with the RDA guideline. Namely, it’s unclear how “</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black'>What is it? ... what is it not?</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#1F497D'>” and “</span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:black'>I don’t do dishes!” </span><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#1F497D'>exemplify the RDA rule. The question mark and the exclamation point <i>do</i> separate data elements, as there are, presumably, additional data elements afterward. From the examples, it seems that RDA only intends that <i>non-terminal</i> punctuation between elements be omitted. Is it stated somewhere that question marks and exclamation points are special cases? The examples don’t have one with a period, but it would be unusual to find a period in the resource for most transcribed elements in modern material.</span><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><span lang=EN-US style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:36.0pt'><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";color:#1F497D'>RDA also says to “add punctuation, as necessary, for clarity” (i.e. where visually <i>implied</i> on the resource).
