My suggestion was not to try to make DCRM parallel to AACR2, but to make
the chapters for specific types of materials number parallel to the
numbering in the general chapter (currently DCRB). DCRB is, of course, also
a moving target, but at least it is a moving target our group can control.

On the other hand, we might want to model the whole DCRM on the proposed
structure of AACR2 and organize it by area with specific types of materials
treated in each area, rather than having a general chapter and then
subsequent chapters for specific materials. What does everyone think of
this suggestion?
