<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I agree with Richard. The current RDA guideline needs a revision, but this proposal places too much emphasis on sequence, layout, and typography. The character
of the noun phrase <i>has</i> to be the primary (and sometimes only) indication of where it belongs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The proposal is less coherent than its parallels in AACR2 and DCRM(B). The proposed wording of the if-and statement also implies that the noun phrase must always
be recorded with Other Title Information if the sequence, layout, and typography suggest no preference—no matter how strong the indication of character in the noun phrase. I doubt this is the outcome the authors intend.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">I don't see any improvement in the proposed revision, as well as further drawbacks, and find the AACR instructions generally more coherent. The question isn't a matter of typography, but has to
do with whether the information is useful in a display which includes both the title proper and other title information, but not the statement of responsibility.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">If the noun phrase characterizes the work or expression as a whole, then it ought to be associated with the title proper as, well,
<i>other</i> title information. If the noun phrase has to do with the nature of the responsibility of the person or persons named, then it's part of the statement of responsibility. There will
<i>always</i> be grey areas, but with such guidelines in mind there will be a tendency to coherent if not always invariable results in the work of cataloguers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">The revision to regard typographical layout--which may have much more to do with visual design than with intellectual content--<i>does</i> result in intellectual incoherence. If the same words
are differently disposed in another manifestation, then the 245s won't match.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
