Topic 6: Glossary: Plate

[Robert Maxwell]

>Plate.  [N.B.: major revision.]  A primarily illustrative leaf that is not an
>integral part of a gathering.  [DELETING: "excepting an illustrated title
>page
"]  Tables,  %scores, and added title pages%  printed on leaves that are
>not an integral part of a gathering are also treated as plates.

I have nothing against this (and I'm glad to see the addition of score),
but I think the addition of added title pages into the definition of plates
warrants discussion, since it is explicitly excluded in the current
definition. Sandra, could you explain your thinking here? What do the rest
of you think?
